True micro LED is coming but requires new manufacturing technology. mass transfer tech holds promise but still in infancy for a visual creating process. IE the consistency needs to get better. Brightness is key for HDR, I look more at contrast. currently COB is providing very good contrast. The rub? The coating! Some use GOB (glue on board), or encapsulation, these layers cal vary from matte to gloss, consistent or inconsistent in application. Some are prone to de-lamination or distortion over time or with UV exposure in the home. Daktronics has released a line of COB for high end command rooms with solid contrast and lifespan. The line is affordable and priced below their traditional SMD dvLED product.
