I don't like hdr

As has been said, for LG OLEDs and HDR........ OLED light at 100 and dynamic contrast also needs to be set to "low" for proper tone mapping etc.

Breakdown of what the dynamic contrast does on LG OLEDs

• Off - Active HDR Disabled / Contrast Enhancement Disabled
• Low - Active HDR Enabled / Contrast Enhancement Disabled
• Medium - Active HDR Enabled / Contrast Enhancement Low
• High - Active HDR Enabled / Contrast Enhancement High

Don't forget as well that certain films might not actually be that "bright"

You don't use dynamic contrast, at least not on the 2019 sets as they have a separate dynamic tone mapping option.
 
I thought the 2018's had dynamic tone mapping too, like the panasonics, to use when you were not using dolby vision, so just hdr10.

On the 2019's the hdr tone map calibration option looks interesting too, is that accesible by users, in the menus ?
since, you could control how the oleds 800nits are allocated to the films mastered at 4knits or 1knits.
 
HDR adds a great deal to the picture when set up well. It’s not all about the max brightness it’s also about being able to see details in darker scenes this is where OLED really does well. I’m using a nearly 4 year old B6 and I’m still impressed how much detail is visible in darker scenes whilst still maintaining an inky black. This impresses me by far the most about HDR and OLED technology.

Exactly this, but people are adamant they need OLED light set to 100 else they are going to miss out on something.

Room lighting is one of the biggest factors which impacts your viewing experience and more importantly the settings you should run.

Should be off on SDR and high on HDR.

Honestly sounds like you’ve spent a lot of money on an OLED and then changed all the settings to awful ones.

It's low on sdr, high on hdr. Either way full bright oled 100 is way too much, I don't mind bright highlights but oled light 100 means it's always bright for everything, this may be ok when it's a bright room but in a unlit room with only bias light behind its LCD piecing bright

There is a big thread over on AVS forums that explains why this is wrong for HDR, I would suggest doing some research on the matter.

I think I've done enough research on the matter and even having spoken to Vincent Teoh from HDTVTest in person about it I think I know enough.

OLED Light adjusts the overall luminance of the screen (how much light it puts out) without (significantly) affecting either the white level or black level.

The OLED Light setting is not a gimmick. It allows you to raise/lower the overall luminance of the picture without clipping whites or crushing blacks.
