Movies show a grey colorskin instead some brilliant colors for HDR

I have an issue with some movies which I tried to watch with VLC (2.2.6) on Windows 7 64bit (Fully patched, Drivers are up to date from the Vendor Website). The issue is that those movies have a grey skin. However when I watch the same video on the same TFT screen with MPV (https://mpv.io/installation/) then the colors are ok.

Already tried:

  • reinstall VLC
  • Reinstall Windows
  • Update driver
  • use another PC and/or TFT

But that didn´t help so I assume the issue is with the VLC player
