HDR is gay.
When I put my monitor in HDR mode, colors are all kinds of fucked up. It hurts my eyes unless I put it in "Night Light" mode, which still isn't as good as just using Reader mode on my monitor. On top of that, I really can't tell any meaningful difference in any games. When HDR first came out, games that supported it had cool blow-out whites in bright areas, but then game devs, as they often do, thought up ways to implement this effect (which has actually been around since Quake 1) without relying on true HDR...which then just means that games look damn good without it, and it seems to be completely unnecessary in the end.
