New 2nd-monitor HDR (LrC 14) does not fall back to SDR on non-supported displays (Windows)

LrC 14 introduces an option to display HDR edits with the dual monitor view. However, if the 2nd monitor does not support HDR, Lightroom will display the HDR version anyway and rely on the OS to handle it, rather than displaying the built-in SDR downconversion. This often results in substantial clipping and color shifting, and is also somewhat useless since this isn't a representation a viewer/client would ever see in most cases.

 

Disabling HDR in library will make the 2nd monitor properly display Lightroom's SDR conversion, but now you can't view HDR in the library on your HDR-capable main monitor! Ideally, Lightroom Classic should be able to detect that HDR is only enabled on the primary monitor and display the built-in SDR conversion on the 2nd monitor view

 

System details: Win 10 24H2, Nvidia RTX 3080 10GB, driver v565.90
