HDR Playback over Hyperdeck

When browsing the color management settings in resolve after finishing a project that I believed would be perfect for testing out High Dynamic Range content, I was reminded that the Hyperdeck Plus HD supports various HDR formats for playback through systems and on displays that support it.

According to the Hyperdeck operational manual,

HDR Format Override

HyperDeck Studio 4K Pro will automatically detect embedded HDR metadata in a 4K video signal or file and display it via the HDMI output. If the signal or file is tagged incorrectly, or your display is not HDR compatible, you can override the HDR format.

The HDR Playback override options are as follows:

Auto, Rec.709, Rec.2020 SDR, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), ST2084 (300), (500), (800), (1000),(2000), (4000)

I have been experimenting with various exports through Resolve to determine the format that allows me to correctly and accurately utilize the full range of an HDR monitor that I currently own using footage that contains the full dynamic range of Blackmagic RAW.
