I think the new "display peak luminance" feature only works if your display has a static and unchangable minimum light level (MLL) of the display.
Meaning, it only truly works if you have a FALD (full-array local dimming) display.
If your display can do 4,000nits but keeps the contrast ratio at 1000:1 it simply does not differ from any other SDR TV.

OR, I might be very wrong!
..and madVR actually compress the HDR content to 1000:1 and you should turn your SDR display brightness to max (400nit) to utilize the new feature...?

I need some HDR demo clips, anyone?
