Yes. I've tested this myself and hdtvtest.co.uk did too.
Which TV and which UHD-Player?
Do you have a link to the hdtvtest.co.uk article?
Still interested in reading about this, mate.

Tested this with the Samsung KS9500 and Sony XD940 and some random Samsung UHD player. Not like the player really matters for this purpose.
Upon being feed a HDR signal every single HDR capable TV kicks into a different drive mode of the panel just like it would for 3D.
Now depending on the manufacturer some TVs have more picture adjustment options available than others but game mode is not among them. If I remember correctly Sony had an option between HDR Video and HDR Video Vivid and something bright day. Samsung actually offered more options and picture adjustments than others but also no game mode. The Sony measured 75ms in HDR video and the Samsung shot up to 110ms. Both unplayable for me.
I've been in email contact with Vincent from hdtvtest ever since E3 when Microsoft announced HDR gaming. I am planning to buy an LG OLED E6 myself and asked him and he confirmed that game mode is also not available in HDR mode as LG also only offers three modes for HDR with vivid, bright and standard. I've told him to keep testing it on every TV they get now and he let me know via email. I will ask him if it is okay if I share the private emails and will pm you if he says it's okay.
In any case HDR and gaming on a TV is certainly not a match made in heaven. I'm also sure there are certain TV's which might have low enough lag in non game mode to still be considered playable (and I'm sure some might argue that they are not bothered by 70ms of lag) those however are not TV's worth buying.
On this set, you cannot enable movie mode once it is in game mode. In game mode, the tv does detect HDR content, but after some testing in our lab, it does not seem to display all the benefits as HDR in movie mode.
In short:Im Test konnten wir z.B. bei TVs von Panasonic, Sony, Samsung oder LG den Spiele- oder PC-Modus auch mit HDR-Quellen aktivieren. Was man in diesen Modi verliert ist nicht HDR, sondern die Zwischenbildberechnung und einige Filter wie z.B. Rauschfilter. Allerdings sieht der Übertragungsstandard via HDMI nicht vor, alles gleichzeitig zu nutzen. Im Test mit einem HDR-Player können wir z.B. UHD, HDR, 10 Bit, 4:4:4 bei 24 Bildern pro Sekunde einstellen oder UHD, HDR, 10 Bit, 4:2:2 bei 60 Bildern pro Sekunde.
The Rtings thing is unclear but it confirms HDR sources can be used with game modes. That's why I included the second quote. Those dudes/that dudes have done some good HDR comparisons and I trust them to differentiate/identify HDR inputs.That sounds like you can use HDR sources in game mode but don't get HDR?
I hope MS have an option to disable HDR in the Xbox S
That's strange. My LG EG920v, the 2015 4K OLED model from LG, supports game mode while watching HDR content. Although game mode is a bit dimmer than standard mode for HDR content.I've been in email contact with Vincent from hdtvtest ever since E3 when Microsoft announced HDR gaming.

Might as well list what I have found then:
Rtings.com says you can activate game mode with HDR inputs.

Digitalfernsehen.de is more specific in the comments to one of their videos:

In short:
They've tested TVs from Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and LG and were able to enable game mode with HDR sources. Activating game mode merely removes post processing that is done to the image. A restriction of the HDMI 2.0 specification is that 4K 60fps HDR is only possible at 4:2:2.
My best guess is that certain HDR modes that TVs have do require post processing and as such don't allow game mode, but the signal itself can be output. Probably not as impressive as the HDR modes but image processing for gaming was never going to happen anyways.
So apparently I missed this bit of info in the middle of E3, but the 500GB and 1TB versions will only be released in December? Just saw the listings on MS Store following a tweet by Major Nelson about Amazon Prime day. Gamespot reported so at the time. Placeholder dates sure, but they didn't say more since then.
I've been waiting because I didn't want to buy the OG model and have to resell it or trade it in later, but I think I'm gonna buy one. Can't wait six more months.
I think this was discussed here before, but what are the advantages of the internal upscaling vs. the normal upscaling a TV would do?
Is it higher quality? Do we have examples?
Does it help with input lag? Do we have measurments?
the console isn't out yet
But Microsoft announced the feature, so I'd expect they also explain it.
The guy you quoted has no fn idea what he is talking about. Sony hDr is called hDr. Xtended dynamic range has been in Sony tvs before hDr existed. People need to learn not to over react especially to incorrect.information.Ugh. Fucking tv's are at it again. Somebody needs to regulate this fucking industry to adopt common language. Setting up and calibrating a tv for a tech dummy is near impossible. Everything from RGB, colorcrange, overscan just scan dot by dot, picture fit etc.
So are these special bundles, or are they just giving Halo 5 to everyone who buys the S?
Well that would be a bit annoying since I just bought Halo 5 during the sale.So are these special bundles, or are they just giving Halo 5 to everyone who buys the S?

If you get the 1TB you could sell it for a quick buck.Well that would be a bit annoying since I just bought Halo 5 during the sale.

I visited a Microsoft Store today and I got the note that the August 31st launch date is legit, and the person who helped me was genuinely puzzled by EB's August 2nd date. He even took a screencap of that for later reference lol
I really, really want him to be wrong, that Aug 31st date is just screaming placeholder
The wait is real .
BTW, I'm in Canada if that matters.
It is a Wednesday so it wouldn't be out of place but yeah why hasn't Microsoft actually come out with a specific date yet? It's only been "August".
Yeah, I have the 2TB SKU pre-ordered.are you buying an S?
Sell the game? Yeah, I guess if it is a code pack-in I could sell it.If you get the 1TB you could sell it for a quick buck.
Has it been confirmed that the UK is getting the 500GB S model? I cant seem to find a preorder anywhere for it. they are all 2TB models.. mmm
