Windows 11 display information.  whistling.gif

the reason why windows display information show like that is because windows read ur display EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)

vendors can put whatever info into their monitors' EDID and let windows read it. this also means that ur display will be able to receive HDR input. but, ur display cannot, and will never output proper HDR, hence it is not capable of HDR and it's not HDR ready, and it's HDR ready only because vendors like to deceive ppl. this behaves the same as my old LG 27GL850, a HDR400 monitor, but can never output proper HDR.
also seems like ur display's 6-bit+FRC manage to fool windows into thinking it's a 10-bit monitor thru EDID.

anyhow u bought the monitor, regardless if u want to believe it can do HDR or learn that it can't, best just enjoy it since it's a bargain

can get Dell Ultrasharp.  brows.gif

Dell does not have a 27" 5K ultrasharp if I am not mistaken.
5K 27" is still pretty pricey. Might have to go for a 4K monitor instead.

Currently thinking between the AW2725Q or a U2725QE
But also open for anything with similar spec but cheaper....

Really need good oled panels to enjoy proper HDR

but high nits is not the issue for cheap HDR monitors, it's the dark area's quality. HDR400 on games already hurts my eyes on some scenes because it's quite bright when the monitor is used inside the house and not outside with direct sunlight... But dark areas still really sux on HDR400 IPS monitors (the contrast ratio)

if u use 4k on Mac OS, then the UI resolution will be recommended to 1080p.

u have to use windows hdr calibration app to calibrate it properly so that the highlights will not exposed. brows.gif

then it will create a new profile to replace the default profile.

At 4k, the font will either be too small (100%) or too large (200%).
If I set at 150% it won’t be as crispy.

But that’s ok. Price difference between a 4k and 5k monitor is too large to justify just for “crispy system text”.
