As indicated in my signature line, I have a JVC RS520 projector, Panasonic BD900 player, and a Denon AVR-S720W receiver.
In the one month or so I've had this setup, I have used it to view three different UHD/HDR titles: "Planet Earth II", "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", and "Pacific Rim", all of which have looked stunning (particularly "Planet Earth II"). (Most of my viewing time is done over a Roku Premiere.)
But this past weekend, I received "Cars 3" in UHD/HDR, and found the image to look washed out. But both the player and projector both indicate a BT.2020 HDR image - exactly the same as happens if I pop in "Planet Earth II".
Below are some iPhone pics of the images produced, first with "Planet Earth II", then a hot swapping in of "Cars 3", and finally, "Cars 3" in the SDR Blu-Ray disc (in 1080p instead of UHD).
I have gone through all the player configuration and I can't see anything set funny, besides which, the other three titles I have in HDR all look amazing. I would guess that means the disc itself is faulty, but how is that even possible?
The other possibility is that this is just how "Cars 3" is actually supposed to look in HDR, but that seems even LESS possible?!
So... First, can anyone with "Cars 3" in 4K/HDR tell me this if this is normal?
Second, can anyone suggest any course of action other than trying to get an exchange of this disc with Amazon?

Then switching to "Cars 3" in 4K/HDR:
And then "Cars 3" with a regular 1080p Blu-Ray in SDR:
