The cable would still need to do 4K though...

I think 1.4 does 4K @30Hz. Anyway, I could have sworn most TVs have the ability to turn off HDR, or at least have picture modes incompatible with HDR. Loophole, baby!

Yeah, Samsung not so much. The non-HDR picture is vibrant and gorgeous. The HDR is dark, muddy, and unwatchable.

Fortunately all the devices I have feeding them have the option to disable it.

Example:

HDR On:

HDR Off:

My LG TV was similar and I had to go digging in the settings to mess with brightness, backlight and black detail. Anything that was dark on HDR was just black and I had to go in and up the black detail and brightness/contrast settings

Yup, unfortunately with Samsung, the only thing that works reliably is disabling HDR.
