I think the most important thing in HDR is not about the max brightness but more to the difference between contrast (Bright vs dark)
So for OLED screen, due to the nature of the panel able to turn off individual pixels for pure darkness, they do not require such high nits as peak brightness to output a very good looking HDR. However for VA/IPS panel, due to the black is not truly black, then it has to compensate with > 1000 nits to make HDR look good.
And well HDR compliant are still very new market and it still subject to tuning as well as adjustments.
I'm still waiting for HDR10+ LOL. (or w/e they call the new spec)
Still depends on your own eyes at the end of the day.So for OLED screen, due to the nature of the panel able to turn off individual pixels for pure darkness, they do not require such high nits as peak brightness to output a very good looking HDR.

I was lucky to be able to test a 65KS9000 vs a 65C6 OLED side by side, both calibrated and in HDR still felt the C6 is too dark and dim for my liking, not as vibrant as KS9000 hence I bought the KS9000 instead. Although its undeniable the black levels are unmatched.
Call me crazy but I really didn't like the OLED at the time. The cons of an LED were much more bearable to me than the cons of an OLED at the time of my review, mainly the KS9000 vs the C6.
Of course they have rectified some of those cons/issues with the 7 series and it got that little bit brighter but still too dim for me. Crossing fingers the 8 series will be able to output >1000 nits and clear out the kinks completely then I'll ditch my KS9000 into the bedroom and upgrade.
