Another issue I am having is when I custom name an input/source, it changes back to "unknown"...

No it doesn’t seem to cause any noticeable input lag, I had the B7 for a long time and looked at various work arounds to dark HDR, all dynamic contrast seems to do is mess with the gamma values nothing more than that.
The dynamic contrast low in cinema mode is something different, that was a prototype of LG’s dynamic tone mapping feature that came in later models, but this only works in cinema mode, wont do the same in game mode.
Most games should have HDR calibration settings at this point were you can hopefully offset the problem.
The 8 series onwards changed how they measured HDR metadata and more recent models have HGIG alongside LG’s own dynamic tone mapping feature available in game mode.
It was possible to alter the HDR data for the way the 7 series was designed but this was complicated and involved the use of a HD Fury device to inject the data sitting between console and TV, you also had to alter it based on each game, I forget the details beyond that but it was more hassle than it was worth I thought at the time.

Do you recommend using the dynamic contrast option or changing the brightness settings in-game?
