LG C1 picture too dark

[AmesDP]

My 65" C1 has a good picture with default settings on 1080i input from my cable TV box, but the picture is too dark with everything else, including Blu-Ray and built-in apps like Disney+. I've tried every combination of settings I can to improve the picture, including all the Brightness settings, and the AI and OLED pixel brightness and power-saving settings. It seems to be impossible to get the picture to lighten up the obscured darker portions to normal levels without also making the blacks grey. This is extremely frustrating in a TV that's supposed to be a premium model with the best picture around. I wonder if LG has really screwed up its gamma mapping somehow.
What have other owners found? Any suggestion on the settings?

LG C1 OLED Owners and Discussion Thread

LG OLED55C12PL. is my first OLED TV. I own 5 other LG TVs LED and Nano Cell. I got only few hours with this new TV so as my first post I will add my first issue. The C1 is connected to an AVR Yamaha RX-V6A with a 2.1 HDMI certified cable that worked with no issues with my previous 2018 LG...
