What do you mean by that I might want to use madVR's tone mapping on the C1 and why are you not using it?

I'm not sure even where to start with the settings. I don't need the "best" settings, but something that looks better than the TV can do natively.

Yes, you cannot turn off all HDR tone mapping. Dynamic Tone Mapping is more dynamic than it should be. I suggest leaving it off even if using passthrough in madVR.

I did watch "No Time to Die" from a external HDD in Dolby Vision with HDR Tone Mapping forced enabled through the "Cinema Home" picture mode on the TV since madVR doesn't support Dolby Vision. I have to say it looked pretty good.
From what I understand, LG's own HDR Tone Mapping doesn't only make the highlights brighter, but the whole picture because it isn't dynamic like madVR's pixel shaders?

Thanks for the input and suggestions.
