Dolby Vision can  play HDR10, backward compatible  I think,

Anyway HDR10+ with Dynamic Metadata is already close to Dolby Vision and it's free, so I think it will be easily adopted.  Dynamic Metadata is the key feature that will make the previous HDR10 now consistent with quality throughout, no more hit or miss quality in future.

LG/Sony/Panasonic do their own version of HDR10+ in their OLED TVs as well. Since it's not a a hard standard as yet, it mainly dynamic tone mapping based on per frame analysis using metadata. Only when it's accepted as a standard it's easy to implement across the brands else we hv ambiguities.

Dolby Vision solves that but licensing is an issue for some companies.

Any entry level TV has just the basic HDR support.

Which means it can decode HDR signal but the panel is unable to "show" the high dynamic range due to the inability to hit peak brightness as well as black levels needed for HDR image to really give the wow factor.

Esp when most entry level TV is basically full with 8 bit panel, hence it doesnt even have the wide range of color that can be displayed.

Just don't expect too much. Decent HDR panels are going around 5k+ now while flagships are going to 5 digit range.

Anyways for entry level you're better looking for TV you be better looking for a panel with the best Picture Quality you find acceptable within your budget range.\

I cant vouch for any brands, as different ppl eye have different preference (whether it is VA panel, or IPS panel)

Some ppl vouch by Sony, some Samsung, some Panasonic, and blah blah blah

The best way to do testing is to go Harvey (you dont need to buy from them)

Bring a USB stick or something with a video that you watch the most, ask them to loan you their remote, turn down their setting to regular movie setting, and eyeball all the TV within your budget range.

Picture Quality is very human dependent. What looks nice to you might not look nice to another.

I think it's important to note that while it's good to be able to do high brightness > 1000nits for HDR only a handful of times does the encoding actually ever go so high. Also, at the moment only a few displays can actually do > 1000nits anyway. The UHD Alliance also has another specs for OLEDs that allows a lower nit level for HDR. I think for some time any set that can do > 500nits shd be good for HDR. What's more important is the ability to tone map correctly to allow the highlights to show without too much crushing.

That connector at the back is some sort of service connector not for audio.

Get an Optical to Analog 3.5mm output connector Converter.

But be careful, not sure if they downmix the full channels to stereo or they just output the L/R channels only, which means no center channel (voice) if original source is 5.1.
---------------------

Come to think of it you can always select the PCM option at the Tv to downmix first for you before output to the converter.

The 3.5mm connector at the back is meant for service engineers. On the quantum dot displays for 2016 and 2017 that port is used for autocal via Calman. I hope to try it out in the 65KS9000 soon.

I read if you go into the service menu by using the convential remote (combo keypress) you can enable 2 extra profile mode for calibration and saving the settings, Cal1 and Cal2.

I hv not verified if that available in Asian firmware.

Please don't expect to get 10 bits panel on a Samsung low end UHD TV. The 55MU6100 is a PLS 8 bit panel with static contrast of 1000:1. The 55MU7000 is a 10 bits panel.

Interesting 65MU6100 seems to of of VA variant.
