**had to add, I didn't really say what you're saying I said - I don't think things would be perfect out of the box and not to change anything, I'm saying if things are to your liking or calibrated correctly that it should work across the board - you should never had to change TV settings drastically from one game to the next on the same system
I think that's exactly how it SHOULD work. I'm in film/tv and shoot all the time. When I shoot, I record LOG format which is a flat profile which is then colour graded and finished. It's the same thing with HDR and games... you are either 'exporting' to a REC.709 standard colour/contrast space or wide gamut 2020 spec for example.
Those standards exist for a reason and that would mean that my export of an 90% exposed image would be 90% exposed on your calibrated monitor.
So if one games looks perfect (in my case NBA 2k21 did out of the box), other games should too as they are all working in the same defined limitations.
Sure you have room for personal preference as well as the rare 'outlier' (think the dark game of thrones episode), but overall a good image should translate time and time again using the same device. Different games shouldn't have to alter picture settings unless something weird is going on.
In this case, something weird IS going on between living rooms, but there shouldn't be a massive shift in image quality BETWEEN games in the same living room if they are both HDR 4k optimized games.
