I basically let HDR pass me by for quite a while, but I just got a new

image flicker in games (the trick to get rid of that was to cycle down to
143 Hz.)
 
Wow.

Yes proper HDR is a huge upgrade if the HDR range and brightness is good
enough, cheap hdr monitors usually do not get enough brightness level to
really be called it HDR, so many monitors basically have HDR slapped on
top and can only deliver if at all HDR 400 or less with those you only
will see small differences, add on top of that that you wont get proper
black and white contrasts due to not having any dimming whatsoever.

Your monitor sounds like from the more expensive proper HDR range of things!

Naw. It's just 400 nits, but it's still a big improvement. I can imagine
how awesome a "proper" one is.
