Getting the brightness down on HDR material is what I do, and the picture quality is very good. I have the 55Q90R, which I believe has somewhat less native contrast compared to the larger models, so settings needs also to be selected to have the black bars black. I watch in a dimmed lighting so I reduce the backlight in HDR (a no-no according to some) and use local dimming= Low. I have two reasons for this; Not to have the subtitles burn my eyes and not see any scene brightness pumping when subtitles are shown. My HDR picture (Netflix mostly) still has some more punch than SDR. For sure it doesn't give the "correct NITS" but I like it It could also be that content providers/implementers need to adapt to the new capabilities and design picture elements like logo and subtitles to suitable brightness (without sunglasses).
thanks. would you say the Q90r is brighter than an Oled full stop even with SDR ? i'm just worried that if i got one i would say reduce the brightness but then lose the quality of the display as well . On my ancient plasma its not bright but gives what i believe is very realistic picture.
