Do you change screen settings for HDR?

I have this weird foible with my TV. When I watch normal Sky HD content, I have the TV set to natural. This is a nice bright sharp picture, but not too overpowering.

However, when I switch to my fire TV and waytch 4K HDR content, the screen appears too dim and a bit lifeless on natural. However, if I switch to dynamic (the one that people say should never be used), the pictures comes alive, bright, sharp, beautiful colours and not overpowering. Is this something you guys have ever experienced with a TV before?

A TV will have presets for each type

SDR
Dolby Vision
HDR10+
Perhaps even for resolution as well? And even settings for each input, so if your TV has ability to copy to other inputs would be useful, once you get one right that helps not copying it for the every hdmi input.

So you would calibrate the TV for every preset, or at least cinema/isf bright and dark.. Dynamic/vivid typically looks awful, as it'll set everything to maximum, increased sharpness, colour, noise reduction, contrast, dynamic contrast, peak brightness, etc.

Look for your TV model and find some recommended picture settings, for the above plus others like colour temp, gamma level

For HDR I personally can't stand full contrast, and OLED level, it's just way too much

Reads more like your used to the blown out colours of certain settings rather than the default / actual ones you should be using.

With my Hisense the recommended picture mode is filmmaker for everything which sets the picture to how it is meant to look and you turn just adjust the backlight depending on the source. Looks good enough to me.

Filmmaker probably unique to Hisense though.
