HDR grading with LG-32ep950-b

The LG Oled monitor seems to be a great solution for HDR grading.

Has someone here experience, using this monitor in combination with Vegas Pro (20)?

If yes, do you run the monitor by using a graphic card, or do you use a videocard like a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme 12G?

Especially - I wonder if Vegas enables the HDR mode on the monitor directly, or if the monitor must be switched to HDR manually?

Hi @Wolfgang S., I didn't follow your other post because till then it's impossible uploading illustrations.
Now it works. But I see your confusion is bigger than imagined.

As for your post here, I'd say it doesn't matter what a HDR display coming into use.
Hauptsache: es is ein HDR Bildschirm.

An expensive or professional screen may give you more precise (optical) result that you want but a cheap one can work the same way because you have all the monitoring instrument in VEGAS: Vectorscope for color, Waveform for signal (peak) value and Histogram for pixel distributions...

I find it's simply nonsense to color calibrate modern display/monitor; the technical advantage already covers everything you can wish.
Sure, an 1000NITs screen brings shocking effect that a 300NITs display never can. But this is another theme.

About the Workaround of HDR-editing in VEGAS, I'd write a small text to introduce.
Tonight or tomorrow I'll upload it. If well planned, I think the title will be:

Sorry that you have the impression that I am confused. I do not think that I am confused at all.

The main question here was, if someone has experience with Vegas and the LG 32 EP950?
