Clouds look overexposed when SDR brightness is set to 200, while looking good
at 400

SUMMARY

After upgrading to 6.5 Beta 1, HDR contents in Chrome Beta seem to be broken as
their max brightness is capped to the SDR brightness.

I have a monitor with peak brightness at 430 nits, and for video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLdj9ZwpKfo&t=706s, the most noticeable thing
is that clouds in the background are almost overexposed when SDR brightness is
set to 200.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Chrome Beta and enable HDR in System Settings
2. Go to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLdj9ZwpKfo&t=706s
3. Change the SDR brightness for the HDR monitor

OBSERVED RESULT

Clouds in the background look overexposed when SDR brightness is set to 200

EXPECTED RESULT

Clouds shouldn't look overexposed
