That link takes us to the more modern page showing the 3000 series gpu versions. Those versions will have a more modern superior panel than the older panel in your laptop. HDR has been around since approx 2005 with the 1.3 patch for Farcry so all modern gpus can output HDR content but it is how good it will look on your monitor that actually matters. There are relatively few good HDR standalone monitors so I would say it is almost a certain no that your laptop panel will not look good when HDR is enabled.

What display do you have it connected to? If it had a 1080ti it's an older model, so I'd hazard a guess the built in panel isn't HDR enabled. If you plug it into an external HDR capable monitor then it should give the option

Hi. I’m just using the built in display. The one I have is the G533ZX-LN114X model with 3080ti - not an older one.

I’ve just realised my initial post said 1080! It’s 3080.

You have the laptop , just enable HDR and play a game with HDR content and see how it looks.

To be certified for Dolby Vision HDR10 (or whatever nonsense it is called) then your monitor will have to pass some binary tests such as being able to output 1000nits of brightness.The problem is that the manufacturers know what these arbitery lines are and pull shady tricks to make sure they pass them so they can then say HDR certified when in fact they just look terrible. This means that no matter what the panel can actually do and what Asus markets it as being able to do is totally irrelevant and the only thing that matters is how it looks to you when HDR is enabled.
