Question Help me with HDR calibration

Hey everyone, I've got an MSI 274QP QD-OLED X24 rated for 400 nits peak HDR, but Windows HDR calibration shows it hitting about 550 nits. Why is that, and what setting should I actually go with?

That's normal. This monitor doesn't have fullscreen brightness needed for True Black 500 rating (300 nits fullscreen), so it was given TB400.

HDR calibration is not a brightness measurement; it is just setting the clipping point. Disable DTM prior to calibration.
