My goal is that the monitor is running at 100 nits. It has a max fullscreen
luminance of 250 nits.
So u have to set Max SDR Brightness to 250 and the the Brightness at 40 to
achieve that goal ?

In addition, what is the brightness slider doing when the monitor is running in
sdr mode ?
Cause changing the brightness slider there does also not adjust it on the
monitor settings. How is that interacting ?

I have to mention i have the following in the powerdevil service file (was a
recommendation for an older kde bug):

[Service]
Environment="POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1"

So how can it make the picture brighter without telling the monitor to do so ?
(sorry for dumb questions, i am a noob in that regard)

No, this does not help that time.

It worked last time to fix a hdr issue in 6.2 before you applied a fix, see
