Dark dull Dolby Vision

Think I'm at my wits end with the Sky Glass Gen2- what's going on with Dolby Vision on Netflix? It's dark and washed out looking? I have it set to Dolby Vision Bright (also tried dark) - it also says that the Backlight is 100%.

 

 Usually the TV is bright and colourful in SDR and YouTube HDR - but I couldn't watch Netflix with that on. 

On my old VESTEL (Toshiba) it would brighten the screen and look bright and rich, and the same for my Samsung (via HDR10+) 

 

Any pointers before I call Sky to return it?

I found exactly the same on my Glass gen2. It was impossible to get a decent Dolby Vision image without the blacks looking milky and grey.  I returned it and bought an OLED TV instead which is absolutely astonishing in comparison. It is light years ahead of Glass in terms of picture quality and I'm so glad I bought it. Only cost a few pounds more but is so much more versatile, faster and more reliable.

Re: Dark dull Dolby Vision

See I had a Samsung OLED but as it's a bedroom tv I kept falling asleep and the YouTube interface was starting to burn into the screen even with the screensaver and pixel movement on,  so I'm wanting to stay with LCD just for that reason, so I might just return the Sky Galss Gen2 and get a high end Hisense or TCL (I would get an LG but their LCD panels are bad, but I know their OLED panels are great) and I want to avoid Samsung as the OS is slow and doesn't support Dolby Vision

Sounds wise. The mini-LED technology used by HiSsense and TCL is very good.
