Yeah, let's just adjust/maximize MPC-HC's color controls and call it XDR. Are you for real? This is so wrong on so many levels and also introduces *heavy* banding all over the place.
The force is obviously strong with you, but now that we know exactly what it does, I can say it's a joke. All this does is adjusting the color controls in MPC-HC. You're not even mapping bt.2020 to bt.709, which results in even more inaccurate colors.(not that they ever were accurate to begin with, using this "tool")
If your GPU isn't fast enough, then the right way to watch HDR on a SDR display is to make a few generic HDR->SDR 3DLUTs that target, say, 300-400-500-600 nits and load these into madVR and see which one you like the most. Most computer displays top off at 300nits or so, but subjectively might still prefer the 400 or 500 nits targets. You can use these with madVR and it's not as heavy as the built-in function. And you will get correct colors too. (Those with hardware meters are able to target this more accurately and also use the 3Dlut to correct for the display as well).
With Linux you already can load 3Dluts directly inside Kodi, and it's coming for Windows in v18. There are also work being made to support HDR in Kodi, and from there it shouldn't be too hard to implement autoloading of 3DLuts for those that wish to pay HDR over a SDR display.

Dream on buddy.
Just enjoyed Planet Earth II with HDR on my VA Monitor 1080p and it's amazing pictures.
I don't need you to believe it.
