XBOX HDR Brightness settings for LG OLED TVs (Destiny)

I can't see anything in caves. In D2, the brightness HDR whitepoint setting, which is what you get when you have HDR enabled on the console, presents a white bar where you can barely see only the tricorn on the far right no matter where the slider is positioned. When you press X to apply, it turns dark and you can move the slider to see all three tricorns (what I suspect is the normal view). Nothing I do seems to make the game bright enough. I'm not eager to adjust the TV settings as most everything else viewed on my TV looks fine.

I know some of you have similar TVs. Has anyone else figured out a solution to this? It definitely seems buggy.

There's one point where you need to see something in detail. I had difficulty finding an angle where I could see what I needed to, but watching the stream from a teammate later I had no problem.

I constantly have problems with the black-level settings in D2 on my 4k HDR tv. If I brighten them to the point where I can see properly in caves and other dark spaces, half the dark tones on my screen have a bleached, washed out look (like the contrast on them has been turned all the way down). If I darken the black settings to the point where that unnatural effect goes away and everything looks "right", then the overall picture is way too dark for me to see properly.
