Picked up a new Alienware 360hz Monitor this week, and I'm curious of enabling HDR in Windows itself increases input lag. Even when games don't directly support HDR, enabling this option still changes the colours - and it feels to me like it does a bit of extra input lag - but I'm not completely sure.
Does anyone know?
Does Enabling HDR in Windows 10 increase input lag?

It depends on the monitor, but HDR can and does increase lag on some models. Some imperceptibly, and some significantly. HDR entails more processing overheads.
