HDR - how do i know what im buying?

hi
Sorry if this as been asked before
I get that cheaper 4k HDR tvs tend to not display HDR correctly
I have been told to look for a HDR 10bit panel, but then reading some people say some HDR 8bit panels display better than a 10bit panel

When looking at specs of tv's it will just say uhd premium, HDR etc

How do i know HDR wise what im getting?
Asking all this in reference to the xbox one X
Want to use this for forza 7, gears, metro etc but also for 4k blurays

I want a good experience without breaking the bank

I have budgeted about a grand for xbox one x and tv
So about £600
But for me its knowing when looking at specs what to look out for because spec sheets just say "HDR - Yes"

So do i look for 10bit panel and hdr10? Because seen a few tvs on richer that say that
And will i need ultra hd premium?

signs said:
a 10 bit panel will give you 1.07 billion colours, go 10 bit

What about the ultra hd premium?

Im off work due to illness at the moment, and only getting esa so saving isnt really an option
Sold a few figures/vinyl and raised a fair bit which is where my £1k came from

They showed last night xbox one x/scorpio can natively play forza 7 at 4k/60fps

Thats what i want to play

No i meant i want to play games like forza at 4k/60fps
I also want to play gears 4 (already own), gears, metro etc
Whilst im off work gives me something to play

I currently have the xbox one S and getting the xbox one X in november yes!

If i could get a decent tv now then so be it, or should i wait it out until closer to the X release date and hope a better TV as dropped in price?

Its just whether or not i get proper HDR etc, never seen a 4k tv in action, so wouldnt know the difference between true HDR and lesser HDR
