HDR >>> 4K if upgrading from 1440 as you would probably agree. But fckk, im not paying 1-1.2K for a monitor when the HDR standard is still being standardized.

Absolutely, that's why I'm getting the new Samsung when it drops next month, 1440 10 bit with HDR > 4K no HDR 8 bit. I'm sticking with the QHD, curved, HDR, 144Hz for the foreseeable future until 4K panels with those features aren't more expensive than my damn TV.

HDR Premium and HDR Pro.. and that other HDR standard, man it is a mess right now.

Hmm, HDR10 and Dolby Vision are the 2 standards. Samsung calls theirs HDR10 Premium just to have a different name, it's still the same HDR10 format standard. LG uses HDR Pro for their naming sake but it is also still the same HDR10 standard format, but they also offer Dolby Vision.

It's mostly your typical scummy company thing of trying to trick unknowing consumers into thinking they are getting something they are not. The HDR10 standard requires a 10 bit panel, if it doesn't have one, it's not real HDR and the naming scheme is there to trick you.
