Looks even better now.

No, with the default values it looked better already, and they could be fixed by just tweaking some sliders to make it even better. Now, the new fixed default values are better than previous ones.

Linus is hugely impressed with RTX HDR for both games and videos.

Ok see now people enjoying it makes sense to me, didn't know there were user controls. If you've got user controls then people tend to love that. Do people ruin the intended experience for themselves way more often than not? Sure of course, but a lot of people like having a sense of control initially, or just altogether (heck maybe the game or the intent sucks, but playing around is fun). Is auto upconverting SDR to HDR actually the equivalent of having a well mastered HDR experience? No of course not it's the equivalent of exactly what it is, an auto one that just follows some set of curves, but heck if you want to play with those curves go for it.
The latest HDR standards for PC monitors are still a bit of a kludge
A lot of 'HDR' monitors still won't really be HDR.
according to this article my old 165Hz monitor wouldn't be true HDR if we take into account DisplayHDR 1.2 requirements. Static is more than fine but DCI-P3 coverage is poor.

Whats wrong with it? I find most people’s frustration with HDR is linked to their poor quality monitors, I’ve never had an issue with game HDR.
Lol, you're talking to the wrong guy about having poor quality displays. The difference is he probably has way way way higher standards than you do.

GOW 2018 default HDR settings are awful, when you correctly calibrate it the HDR image quality improves a lot. Thing is the calibration menu is not very good.

I'm certainly not using Calman gear to compare, however many people online (professional AV reviewers) have and most people have no problems with 99% of HDR implementations. Notable exceptions were the early Starfield implementation and the early RDR2 implementation.
I would think all default HDR settings would be awful unless its reading display parameters from Windows HDR calibration (on PC I think exactly zero games do this). Since we don't have 10k nit displays (and relying on the tonemapper is fine but not optimal if we can control it, we can't for movies unless we use DV but we can for games!) we kinda need per-TV calibration. Even on Xbox (PS maybe too) very few games read from the console's calibration data.
