On the 2016 Oleds lowering contrast (in the TVs settings) does reduce the effect ABL has. Reducing contrast below ~46 for SDR or ~20 for HDR causes ABL to not have any visible effect anymore. It's easily verifiable as a small white window will have the same brightness as a fullscreen white window if you lower the contrast to the mentioned values.

So it can't be ABL that's causing this. But that doesn't mean I would rule out some other weird thing the TV is doing for whatever reason. If someone with an LCD HDR TV could test this we would know if it's a TV or a madVR problem.
