Very quick check with PLUGE suggests <16 is being clipped on my display.
It used to passthrough super whites/blacks with YCbCr output, but that was changed in one of the updates (I believe the one that introduced refresh rate switching). 
 Yep - seems to still be the case. Just ran a BTB and WTW ramp test through it and nothing at either end.

Those running the latest beta, does the colorimeter settings under developer options actually help to properly switch colour space? Anyone with 1080p screen can test with a HDR rec.2020 file?

Also working well for me with Optoma UHD51A projector. No more washed out UI and REC709 content.

Well that's seems like good news! Will stay on 7.1 for now and update to the stable version which has colour space switch.

Seems 7.2.2 has been released here, how can I check if the color space switching is in it?

Thanks, just found that on Google, after I found the thread on the nvidia forum Smile
Will probably help someone else as well!

So which mode should I select, HDR works but colors are washed out

 Maybe you need to recalibrate your TV for both 709 and 2020 now that colour switching is automatic.

We need way more information than this.  Are you playing HDR on an SDR TV or an HDR TV?

RE: nVidia Shield TV (2015 & 2017 Models) - UPDATED: May 25, 2018 - SparkyBoy - 2019-01-11

I have a Sony KD-65A1 4 k TV and am  now pleased that the colour switching is much better for BT.709 and BT.2020 content. 

However I am struggling with Netflix HDR content appearing much darker than 4k only content. 

For example, my daughter watches "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina". My experience so far is:

1) on Shield TV, Netflix content is HDR (4k) and the scenes are generally very dark
2) on Sky Q, Netflix app shows the exact same content as 4K but no HDR. The same scenes are much brighter. 

So we are having to watch any Netflix HDR shows on the Sky Q app as non-HDR content due to the general darkness.

For reference, I use KODI for movies and the HDR content is nice and bright and looks amazing. So I know the issue is not with the TV or with KODI. It seems to be the Netflix HDR content. 

Does anyone else experience this or have suggestions on what I can change on Shield TV?
