Do you need an HDR monitor to grade or use any HDR tools in DR?

A number of colorists are using an off the shelve LG OLED TV for grading. If you are doing Hollywood work, you have the TV calibrated, but for a hobbyist that is not necessary.
I have five monitors running. A 32″ HDR monitor, a 32″ SDR monitor where I run Resolve, a 21″ SDR monitor where I put the scopes, a 42″ SDR LG TV to see what the SDR looks like, and a 55″ LG OLED TV for grading. The TVs are fed from a Decklink signal.
If you are just beginning, all you need for starters is a regular monitor, and a low cost HDR TV as the second monitor.
