It definitely can be, if done right. But a lot of HDR content I've seen so far just makes bright areas super bright and calls it a day.

Like everything, it'll get better with time.
After doing some research, I have decided to not pick up a new TV. And it centers around, and I'm not sure how I missed it, Destiny 2 not having HDR upon launch.
Thus all a new fancy 4K HDR TV will provide is the ability to allow me to play it in 1080P with no HDR, unless I buy a Xbox One X and then I could play it in 4K with no HDR format.
So....I'm just gonna hold off and see if there are any deals on TVs during the holidays. But I do have a nice research base for my shopping.
FYI, dudes - apparently Forza 5 is on Games for Gold for September.
Considering I haven't purchased a Motorsport title since 4... I may actually play this a bit.
I've known he's going to be playing @ 1080p & no HDR all along.
My 4K monitor also doesn't have HDR support so I'll be upgrading it again when I find a new monitor I like, too. #shrug
EDIT: Also as a minor update, my new ASUS MG24UQ 4K IPS LED monitor is really nice. Right now gaming at only 1080p it's a subtle upgrade in visual fidelity -- a touch better contrast and more accuracy in reflections, that's about it for what I'm noticing. Seems like I finally see absolutely everything that the ol' Xbox One is pumping out.
I'm playing in the preset "Scenery" mode just to see what it can do and get max sharpness. When I'm running in true 4K then I'll probably switch to sRGB @ 100%.
Looking forward to the xXx!

Sure do, along with a working console.
Tried Crimson Skies as it's the only one in that list I own.
Looks ok and plays good still.
But whether I'll play it to death like back in day remains to be seen.
KoToR & Ninja Gaiden Black would definitely be worth a spin.
I’ve got CSkies as well, but it’s in a box buried about fourfty boxes deep in a cupboard under the stairs.
