I have a Dell UP2414Q, which is a wide-gamut 4K monitor with a relatively high 375 nits peak brightness and 10-bit input.

It's not technically HDR, but if I view HDR videos with it in SDR mode with the brightness turned up to maximum, there is definitely a bit of an "HDR effect", similar to what Apple has achieved.

However, under Windows, without support from the operating system, this doesn't really work. The colours are shifted and the brightness of the content is way too low.

Microsoft could add something similar, but this is a company that thinks that colour is a feature in the sense of:

    Colour: Yes.
We're approaching 2021 rapidly. I suspect we'll have to wait to 2030 before Microsoft gets its act together and copies even half of what Apple has in their display technology now.
