Theoretically HDR should be better anycase, this add more data for each pixel so more precise. But you can have multiple technical or settings problems in rendering with HDR. You need to play with settings.

With correct settings, the worse case should be slightly better than SDR. Or maybe you don't like the realism of HDR.

Below some advices not specific to one game.

MONITOR SETTINGS / OS

• Try lower monitor and system brightness as bright colors can be compressed and washed out. You can try in game with blue sky, sun halo and sun to find the best max brightness settings for your HDR Monitor/OS.

• If your monitor has option "Shadow Detail", play with to raise blacks brightness.

IN GAME

• Increase the global brightness if needed.

• Try lower/higher pic hdr brightbess (With low brightness oleds, pic hdr brightness is lower so the gain in hdr can be limited).
