Q9FN crushing blacks

Got a query about my TV settings I was hoping you may be able to help with.

With regard to settings, I had some issues with the TV crushing the blacks both in SDR and HDR but more noticeably in HDR out of the box. To resolve this I bumped the brightness up to +2.

I noticed on a lot of review sites they say when they have calibrated they have set brightness to 0 and bumped the gamma up to +2.

I was wondering what is your opinion on the best way to resolve this issue? Brightness Control or Gamma Control? What’s the difference? Is it just doing the same thing?

Many thanks in advance!
