4k 10-bit HEVC video looks washed out / undersaturated

Not sure how Kodi does it, but a so-called UHD source is not just higher bit resolution (10-bit).  It also requires mastering against a nominal 1000 nit brightness and a color gamut of BT.2020, with a defined electro-optic transfer function from SMPTE ST 2084.  So to display a UHD source on a HD display requires significant conversion.  It seems like this is often referred to as "tone mapping". It seems like using a 3DLUT is at least one method of doing that which I think is possible in Kodi?
