The recent HDR discussion seems to be missing some of my gripes with the current state of affairs. Never mind bad highlight clipping behavior on my TV(?), mismatching raster/sampled light power in some games and questionable side-by-side comparisons: a single calibration profile is not enough.
I often don’t want my S90C blasting at full power in my dimly lit living room late at night. Calibrated black levels also vary depending on ambient lighting.

It's not that the user has to calibrate per game to get an optimal experience, it's that they might have to re-calibrate every time they play! Ideally UI, black and peak levels are standardized into OS calibration and in-game could be as simple as scene exposure. Give me a bright/dim toggle in my PS5 quick menu to flip both the OS and game calibration presets.
