HDR & Brightness Reality
No HDR standard is listed for 23.8" Dell S2425H. Its hardware budget is directed towards 1920 x 1080 resolution, 48 Hz - 100 Hz operation and the available ports instead. With 250 cd/m² typical brightness and 1500 : 1 contrast, it should be judged on normal desktop and gaming use. HDR video can still play through software, but the specification does not promise expanded highlights, local dimming or a wider luminance range.
