When you do so, a setting in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings, “HDR mastering is for X” lets you specify the output, in nits, to be inserted as metadata into the HDMI stream being
output, so that the display you’re connecting to correctly interprets it. The output you specify should match what your display is expecting.

HDR10+™
DaVinci Resolve supports the new HDR10+ HDR format by Samsung. Please note that this support is a work in progress as this is a new standard. When enabled, an HDR10+ palette shows the results of the trimming analysis that make an automated downconversion of HDR to SDR, creating metadata to control how HDR-strength highlights look on a variety of supported televisions and displays. This is enabled and set up in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings with the Enable HDR10+ checkbox. Turning HDR10+ on enables the HDR 10+ palette in the Color page.

Monitoring and Grading to ST.2084 for HDR10+
When you’re grading a program for HDR10+ output, you’ll need to monitor an ST.2084 image, which is as simple as obtaining a ST.2084-compatible HDR display and connecting it to the output of your DeckLink 8K, DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G, or UltraStudio 4K Extreme.
TIP: If you’re monitoring with the built-in video scopes in DaVinci Resolve, you can turn on “HDR (ST.2084/HLG)” in the Waveform Scale Style settings in the Scopes option menu, which will replace the 10-bit scale of the video scopes with a scale based on nit values (cd/m2) instead.

Setting up Resolve Color Management to grade for ST.2084 is identical to setting up to grade for Dolby Vision or regular HDR10. You’ll also monitor the video scopes identically, and output a master identically, given that each of these standards rely upon the same PQ curve.
