PC Monitor HDR???

[twizzlebizzle22]

My PC monitor supports 10Bit colour and looks great.

When I watch this youtube video, the colours and clarity blow my TV and 1080p monitor our of the water.

What provisions allow it to look better?

UP2516D Dell Monitor.

As of right now, YouTube's HDR mode (VP9-PQ) only works with the new ChromeCast Ultra and "soon on all 2016 Samsung SUHD and UHD TVs" via software update. Read here for more details on supported hardware and content:

Unfortunately you can't just watch it in HDR via your browser - it is downsampled.

I'm only offering up this next bit because your post makes it seems like you don't understand how it works. 10-bit isn't a requirement HDR in general. Not even wide color gamut is. HDR is a metadata stream on top of whatever video stream it is combined with. All that matters is that you have a display capable of decoding HDR metadata. The BEST types of displays available now that will give you the BEST results will be 10-bit, wide-color gamut-enabled displays with HDR10 and Dolby Vision support.
