Check "Eagle" scene from SM UHD HDR Benchmark (around 6:34 time mark)
Pay attention to beak color
It sure seems to affect more the scenes where FEL adds a lot to the image and I guess FEL doesn't add much to the MI scene that I compared last night because there's indeed a noticeable difference in certain scenes of the SM disc. Especially the red flower frames where it's very noticeable. But not much different on some other scenes like in the Eagle one though. lldv seem to be slightly more saturated/darker.

Gives your description, I think you might be transcoding. If Plex doesn’t think your system can handle the native audio, it will direct play the video and transcode the audio, which totally breaks DV. I spent half a day on this once on my Shield because ... I connected BT headphones and this issue broke my DV.
thank you. I'll check the audio settings in plex. I use the same plex server on the shield and there's is no audio transcoding
DV works with ts and mp4 files though.
EDIT:
yes, that's the problem. My DV MKVs have Atmos audio and plex try to transcode(because there is no ac3 core in truehd /mkv) so DV doesn't work indeed. If I select an AC3 track before playing the movie then DV is triggered. I'm still getting 2.0channel even though plex says direct play and as I said, same plex server on my pc that works with the shield.
DV works much better on plex... i hope they add lossless support there
