Overblown SDR content in HDR mode (especially reds)

Heya, im having this issue where my hdr just absolutely destroys the reds on sdr content. i have essentially accepted the fact that i will just never use hdr unless im full-screening hdr content (which doesnt happen) but after coming back to this issue and doing some searches, i noticed that not a lot of people have this exact issue. its always either a variation of low contrast/saturation or the hdr content being oversaturated. i was wondering if anyone was having the same issue or is this just something that's wrong with my display.

im using an Odyssey G80SD with game mode turned off. i have the color set to 50(max) and sdr looks great on it. i also have a windowz pc that has hdr turned on with this display, and it behaves normally (ish... you know).

i am using better display, though i use it more as a gimmick and dont actually have much configured on there, other than forcing a 10 bit full bandwith connection (changing this does not fix the issue)

so, does anyone have any ideas on why does this happen? atp im ready to accept that i just won't be able to use it, but it's still worth asking i guess
