Issues editing on a HDR monitor

[1Roy1]

Using lightroom 13.1 develop module for first time in months. Noticed that each photo looks different in the library module vs the develop module.  Or if you look at a photo full frame (F) in the develop module, it then looks the same as in the libary module, but different from normal size in the develop module. LR didnt use to do this. Had changed monitors since last time I used LR and after much troubleshooting, realized this is happening because my new monitor is HDR and calibrated using the Windows HDR calibration app. 

Did some reading and read that if you turn off "use graphics processor" in LR settings it sometimes fixes it. This fixed it for me. However, turning off the GPU means the HDR button in the LR develop basic panel no longer works. Indeed Adobe writes: "Note: If Use Graphics Processor is set to Off in the Preferences dialog, you can continue to edit HDR photos, but the result will not be displayed correctly within the main image view."😯

HDR displays and LR's HDR capacity are a huge leap forward in picture quality, but not without headaches. I already spent hours trying to figure out whats going on. I love how much better the photos look on a HDR monitor with the LR HDR button enabled and don't want to give this up. My photos will be viewed mostly on my PC HDR monitor or on a HDR TV. 

How can I fix this? I.e., I want to edit photos on a HDR monitor with HDR selected in the develop module, and I want the photos to all look the same, whether in library mode, module mode, or full screen module mode. Any help  would be much appreciated!

HDR is not supported in the Libfrary module. Therefore, an image edited in HDR mode within the Develop module will appear different in the Library moduile. Likewsie, Full Screen (F) mode, Slideshow and the film strip do not currently support HDR.

Perhaps one can think of HDR mode display, somewhat in the same terms as softproofing. That also cannot be viewed in Library, in the Filmstrip, and suchlike - not to say this would have been impossible, just people are used to the idea of how that works. I think Library module can be assumed to have different performance priorities and usage expectations than the Develop main window will. So it's not a "given" AFAICT that HDR preview will (at least soon) occur the same across both.

IIRC the Library and Develop modules also use different working color spaces.
