Thanks for the reports so far. A request to include a more complete picture of your Windows version, graphics card, driver and display arrangement with your report.

So this is the "poor man's" HDR setup as someone so appropriately said above. Also coming from an SDR-only setup while keeping all the existing SDR gear and just adding a single HDR monitor:
System:
Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045
AMD 5600x, 64 GB RAM
AMD XT 6600 8 GB VRAM (Driver: Adrenalin 24.5.1)
Displays:
1) 1920x1080 Eizo monitor, SDR primary UI --> AMD GPU displayport
2) 1920x1080 Innocn 10 bit OLED, SDR clean feed --> AMD GPU displayport
3) LG C2 4K TV, HDR clean feed, set to HDR in Windows --> AMD GPU HDMI 2.0
Expectations when "Windows HDR" is enabled in Resolve (meaning I do not need to toggle the setting on and off depending on what I'm working on):
a) Rec.709 output timeline clean feed to SDR monitor 2) : OK, using 10 bit
b) Rec.709 output timeline clean feed to HDR monitor 3) : anything goes
c) Rec.2020 output timeline clean feed to HDR monitor 3) : OK
d) Rec.2020 output timeline clean feed to SDR monitor 2) : anything goes
e) Rec.709 timeline to SDR UI monitor 1) Viewer : OK
f) Rec.2020 timeline to SDR UI monitor 1) Viewer : preferably HDR-to-SDR tone mapping so that Viewer is a reasonable interpretation for editing but does not need to be color accurate as color evaluation would be done with a clean feed to the HDR monitor 3).
So basically this would require Resolve to programmatically check whether or not HDR is enabled on each of the monitors and adjust behavior based on that info.
So based on initial testing, points a) and e) are not fulfilled at this time, didn't get around to testing c) and f) yet, I would assume that c) works but f) not?
Plus of course while you are at it, it would be nice if the monitor LUT (and possibly some other settings?) could be made per monitor and not once for the project/timeline. Kind of think Fairlight where you can set different Busses/output to eg "mono", stereo", "5.1" etc..
