How do you "convert" content to HDR? You have to generate something that doesn't exist.
Did you pay 2 grand for a high-contrast mode?
Yes I'm aware the added information is fake, but I don't care cause it still looks better than SDR. The additional fake details especially look good in the highlights. Clouds are a lot more realistic, for one. Looks a lot closer to real life. SDR clouds are much duller, less detailed, and closer to light-gray than white.
Ok. I guess I'm more of a purist, meaning I prefer to view content as neutral and close to what it essentially is, as possible.
It's fair to prefer a more saturated or subjectively better-looking image, but I guess this is just not on many people's list of top priorities.
I have no solution here, except maybe use that display solely for media consumption and do serious work on a more traditional display. That's at least what I do, except with a projector in that case.
