Might just be your monitor, HDR certifications mean barely anything and it's not uncommon for them to look worse with HDR than without.

My last 2 monitors supposedly had hdr but are unusable in reality.

Nah, it looked shit on my TV as well, and that's an LG OLED. Everything just a lot darker than normal, and only the actual HDR content looks right. The settings for SDR were next to useless.

It looked OK in a full screen game I did get working (one of the recent Tomb Raiders), but such a mess outside it, and it even corrupted the screen when trying to play full screen videos, leading to full system crashes.

The monitor isn't super bright for HDR content, but the issues go well beyond just that.

One of my monitors is "HDR ready", whatever that means. Sure as shit doesn't look like HDR though
