your projector is currently saying SDR with HDR meta data and BT 2020.

and here i repeat again the projector thinks the input is BT 2020 and if this is true you will get messed up colors when SDR is send without telling madVR your device expects BT 2020 resulting is messed up skin colors and a vivid mode like colors. because madVr will convert the input source to BT 709 for SDR.

the calibration tap depends on your screens setting and behaviour not if you are using HDR->SDR conversation or not.

there is only one major difference between SDR and HDR and that is brightness.

so if you want a brighter image on a screen that can't even do SDR brightness like most projector try a lower gamma or a lower peak display nits setting. "colors" are the same between SDR and HDR.
