This is because the control info in the HDR content subsequently instructs the backlight to alter its intensity for different parts of the image.

Wow. That sounds... awful.
My eyes are extremely photosensitive, which is the main reason why I bought an e-reader in the first place. Even with my monitor set at 5% brightness, reading on a PC for extended periods is physically painful. I have my TV set around 30% brightness for the same reasons.
If HDR allows the Blu-ray player to take control of my backlight against my will, then I will make a point of permanently avoiding HDR. Thanks for the warning.

I use a 720(768)p 26" TV, and my understanding is that TVs this small are hard to come by these days. The largest size I would accept would be 32", and this size isn't even usually 1080p anymore, let alone UHD, so I think I'll be able to find a non-UHD replacement when the time comes. I'm quite happy with my TV, so I hope that's a long time from now.
