Personally, I don't think that's the purpose of HDR. So your question is quite valid. FWIW, the new "report BT.2020 to display" option might help a little, *if* your TV somehow reacts to that. But I suppose most TVs won't.

I figure with an actual HDR TV, and all their excess brightness, you definitely don't want to get sunburned from SDR content, while with HDR content you may want to use the brightness for highlights etc. madVR seems to be able to produce a HDR to SDR signal that would enable this (ie. one that looks "too dark" in normal SDR brightness, but possibly just fine with cranked up brightness), while avoiding all the terrible HDR processing in many TVs. Well maybe future TVs will somehow allow external tonemapping while still accepting PQ (ie. the "process HDR" mode in madVR)
