WOW! 4K HDR sucks! (Destiny)

Yeah that's a pretty good TV for HDR (and it's a great TV all things considered!). It doesn't have local dimming though so some scenes will definitely not look as good as it could with it.

Usually for calibrating a new TV I go to rtings.com since they have recommended calibration for specific TVs (Here is one for yours).

A lot of TVs add a lot of post processing crap by default to the image too, and this could make your image look worse. They look good on a show room because it looks bright and colorful, but with content you care about it usually just looks terrible. One of them I know of is "HDR Boost" which turns SDR content into HDR content and just ends up making it look like how you were describing. I think it's called "Live Color" on Sony TVs, but that rtings.com article will probably cover it.
