Honest and maybe stupid question. What does enabling HDR on Mac actually does? I have Samsung Odyssey, and turning it on for me only slightly dims the brightness of the display and rather feels uncomf…

Exactly. They're just acting like Trump during the pandemic - "no testing - no cases..." Why not just keep the posts and allow people exchange ideas for workarounds?
