Interestingly, VLC is the only video player I have on my (Windows) computer that does not "just work". The default setting will have issues to convert TV range properly to PC range so the video is "washed out". I see no such issue with any other players like MPC-BE, MPC-CE, or MPV. If I remembered correctly I have to manually change the renderer mode or whatever it's called to make it work. To be fair, I didn't experiment much since I'm content with MPV.
