Sorry, calibration it's useless... If I calibrate LCD-LED backlight TV to avoid white clipping, like putting backlight in maximun and reducing contrast, the image turns dull and gray, fadded.
In a CRT this don't happens this way. CRT changes the light intensit of the tube itself and not jsut push the histogran side bar killing the dynamic range, like LED-LCD -OLED QLED do.
And some channels like the mini Sat antenna signed TV chanel, have faded images even with the TV contrast and backlight at maximun. Grotesque... MGM Golf chanel, at least on Brasil, it's the most garbage chanel I ever saw.
My LED backlight computer monitor (I'm forced to use this s...t) it's adjusted to try to avoid white clipping, but as result the videos get fadded. Only JGP images have some few dicensy, caus it's made for other standart of contrast.
Even so If I adjusted to avoid as much clipping as possible, the shadows star to crush a bit, since the grradient bar (black to white) used for calibration can't show all tone together.
It's like a seller tells you that to your new car to avoid trepidation/shaking you have to drive slow, while your older car could run like a devil and don't trepidate like the new one.
And there is nothing youy can to to reduce motion blur, view angle problems, uneven light distribution along screen, darkening in reduced angles.
The QLED LCDwas better than LED backlight LCD, but still have problems. And I saw it in a HDR demo clipe, and I bet in a non HDR it would look even poorer in dynamic range than CRT.
I will never watch films in such things... And now take the issue of image artefacts and texture loss in non great compresson video, like all broadcast channels, all stream web chanels, all digital sat paid chanels...
Artefacts everywhere, missing gradients, replaced with banding, looking horrible during fade in and fade out.
Not sure if was the MPEG4 made horrible or if the 4K samsung with my relatives have horrible decompression, but a clip with a camera steady, with few things moving (so easy for compression work) and
that clip have 1GB for just 90 seconds of video, had horrible banding artefacts where was suposed to be gradients on sky.
So I can tell you. I never saw a decent digital presentaion on HD or UHD, since the displays dowsides or the video endocding, always turn things down.
The digital converter I talked it'sx for the CRT, since the TVs already have it built in (decode broadcast signal in DH). I will not risk buy a new one or even think about talk with a seller to describe the problem, since I know these people understand nothing or ignore dynamic range and clipped whites. Sh...t heads... sell TVs and knows nothing about it.

Where did you get your digital converter? Is it a problem with the digital signal they switched to (e.g. low bandwidth, local to your area) or is it that your own personal converter is low quality?
LCDs have their own weaknesses (and strengths), but they're entirely separate from what you're describing. A poor quality converter =/= issues with the screen itself.
