Is HDR content (i.e., 4k UHD 10-bit Blu-ray) supposed to look much darker than SDR on an 8-bit monitor, or are my madVR settings causing this problem? As a demonstration:
  • here's a screenshot of the SDR Blu-ray version, and
  • here's a screenshot of the 4K UDH Blu-ray.

This is not just one movie, though. Every 4K UHD Blu-ray movie that I've compared with its ordinary 1080p Blu-ray version has had this darkness problem.

I have an 8-bit monitor with 300 max cd/m^2 ("nits").

I use madVR with mpc-hc and my madVR's HDR settings can be seen here.

My OSD information is here.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
