djunited wrotehow about posting your setting for sdr and hdr content? been reading about how hdr is currently a gimmick in that it really desaturates the colors and that in general sdr is more vibrant. do you change your settings to compensate for the lack of color in hdr or do you leave it as is?

I usually follow his settings for the x930e

He nail some times but usually I set off the "smoothness " option which is like frame insertion / interpolation that increases input lag.
"Cleareance" option is Black Frame insertion -BFI , like the PG348q I have which is ULMB , where the image flickers to reduce motion blur. X930e flickering is very fast and not noticable. The point here on works on 120hz for 120fps nor 60 hz for 60f fps so no benefit for 60 hz gaming in this mode only @ 120hz - 1440p. Quantum is good but he misses some technical details , I usually comment these below his videos, he usually always recommends setting these two options on , but he misses two crucial points I clearified.
Second HDR 10 is screen dependable a lot say HDR colors are washed out , over saturated colors , SDR is better , HDR is a gimmick etc.. Ironically the most are using panels yes they do accept a 10 bit HDR signals but does they meet HDR 10 core requirements , one down ans HDR 10 will be not what HDR is all about:
At least 1000 bits of HDR Real Scene Peak Brightness ( full 100%window not 10 and 20 % light illumintions here and there ) and the 1000 nits must be sustained which the x930e /x940e are excellent in that.
Native 10 bit panel , not 8 bit + frc ( which ironically the 2000 USD recent pg 27uq uses along with the acer x27) ,An 8-bit image means there are two to the power of eight shades for red, green, and blue. This is 256 different values per channel. When combining those channels we can have 256 x 256 x 256 different color combinations, or roughly 16 million. A 10-bit image can display 1,024 shades of color per channel, or billions of color combinations. The 1024 shades in a real 10bit panel help it in displaying HDR 10 Rec 2020 and DCI P3 colors spaces properly without color banding issues and washed out colors in HDR illuminated bright parts or dark parts that help shows details and not crashed colors.
At most 0.05 level of blacks ,obtained by an efficient local dimming + VA led panels are used usually due to their high native contrast
Wide coverage of Rec 2020 and DCI P3 color spaces - 75 %and more for each
