Didn't think I could get any decent HDR quality out of that sh***y "HDR Ready" Monitor but here you go...

Took me quite a bit of tinkering but this doesn't look half bad in my opinion. First I apparently needed the latest GPU drivers to get HDR colors properly displayed on my MSI MAG274R. Then I used the MSI Dragon Center to crank up contrast and color tonality/curve (not sure what's it labeled in english) to the max. And lastly ingame I reduced brightness from the standard 50% to 30% and increased the HDR luminance to 4000 (although after 2000 you only see marginal differences - setting it to the 300 or 400 the monitor is supposed to work at, looks garbage, though for some reason). After first attempts to get this to produce any kind of tolerable image quality I actually almost wrote this off completely but I'm glad I gave this another try. And it still might not be true HDR but this actually looks quite nice to me - better than the original SDR image imho.
