If you want HDR, why do you buy OLED though? Samsung TV can go >1000nits for great HDR. They dont need DV. Mainstream OLED at best 600+ nits, just like a mid tier LED TV.
I don't think you understand what is HDR , if at all .
Dynamic range is like a canvas . It is measured similarly to contrast , which starts from the deepest black expanding to the brightest peak .
It is what is giving pictures a sense of depth , again similiar to how we measure contrast which play the biggest role in determining picture quality .
Yet under a typical situation , a 500 nits OLED TV will generate the same amount of impact (or "POP" which many of you have heard from HDTV ) as a 1500 nits LCD .
That is because when it comes to dynamic range , the " darker " side of the measurement is far more valued than the brighter end of the spectrum .
Which is also why the current LCD are trying to play catch up with " light blocking technology " such as the FALD / Mini LED .
Human eyes are very sensitive to lights in a way that we are able to perceive more details in a dimmer environment than under strong lights.
A 1500 nits FALD TV probably has a base black floor of around 0.025 cd/m2 , which is roughly equivalent to 1:12000 contrast .
The OLED always starts from 0 , even with a 800 peak brightness it has a typical contrast rating of 1 : 1000000 .
As you can see here , the gap of just 0.025 cm/2 makes up for such a stark difference in contrast ratings .
This is due to the flaws coming from the same tech that powers all currently liquid crystal screen , which require a backlight system .
The current backlight system is far from perfection , often requires complex calculation to be functional and pales in real life performance .
The same reason why even these 1000 nits monitor are considered fake HDR advertising . They are just bright screens , there is very little dynamic range on it because they are unable to supress the lights effectively .

I don't know about you but even when I watched the reviews on my tablet, Samsung HDR always made me wow while OLED just feel accurately coloured.
You just said you can't afford an OLED , yet you somehow manage to come to this conclusion .
Please don't tell me you are making the judgement from a highly compressed youtube video with an extremely limited dynamic range .
If we are just going to talk about the HDR " wow " factor , it is physically impossible for this to happen , it is the same as saying 1000 cm is shorter than 10 cm .
The only circumstance I can think of is you are in a very bright room or you are watching large patch of snow field , in which case the strong ambient light is overpowering the screen with glares .
Self emissive screen such as the OLED always gain an advantage and willl trample over the LED LCDs when it comes to sheer picture quality .
And we have not even begin to talk about dark room performance .
In dim / pitch black room , that advantage will translate into infinite contrast . Anything with a darker background will be imbued with incredible depth , projecting a sense of image floating in air , conjuring a semi - 3d illusion , a PQ miracle which you have to witness to understand how awesome it is .
Now now , considering there are plethora of LCD Issue such as screen uniformity , uneven screen light distribution which further reduce dynamic range and contrast , "halos" , blooming and backlight leakage . Not to say the OLED doesn't has its own flaws but they certainly don't affect Picture Quality to the same extends . If we are being frank here , the 2 technology are not in the same running league .
There are other things Samsung's very high end QLED did better than OLED , but picture quality and contrast [ and thus , dynamic range ] are not one of them .

Yeah, I don’t want people to know/see the videos I usually watch. 
I tried to Google but no relevant results. Now I know.
