Decided I should watch the older John Wick movies to get back on track for the 4th one.

Basically almost all 4k/2160p releases also seem to include HDR which means the content tonemapping/colors/contrast looks rather off on my 400 nit screen that “technically” supports HDR (not to mention I’m using Linux, where HDR support is nonexistent)

Can I somehow un-HDRfy these releases or should I be looking somewhere else? Some 1080p versions are non-hdr which look significantly better aside from the resolution.

    for mpv, this gets tonemapping (even for Dolby) working quite well:

    # Video/HDR settings
    vo=gpu-next
    target-prim=bt.709
    hdr-compute-peak=yes
    tone-mapping=bt.2446a
