So far I've found this video to best demonstrate the contrast difference:


If it doesn't say HDR instead of 4K on the bottom, you're not seeing it in HDR. If you're on Monterey 12.1, you still have to change your user agent in Safari.
Menu bar-> Safari->Preferences->Advanced->Show Develop in Menu Bar
Menu bar-> Develop -> User Agent -> Google Chrome / Windows (Has to be Windows, the MacOS agent still doesn't give HDR) -> Proceed to sear retinas

You can even toggle it on and off to go back and forth between HDR and non HDR

Enjoy! Feel free to post other cool HDR videos in here

Any way to get HDR working on Chrome? Or do you have to change the user agent there as well?
