The majority of content is mastered for DCI-p3. But we also have scRGB which is a modification of sRGB to allow a much greater gamut, and a linear transfer. Either scRGB or bt.2020 would be fine.
This is two things, gamut mapping and tone mapping, Gamut mapping isn't that hard
we have been doing gamut mapping since the 90s or even before. it's mostly a solved problem.
Tone mapping is much harder
Tone mapping actually doesn't look that bad, even when mapping down to 600 or even 400 nits, it still looks way better then sRGB, it's just a matter of properly mapping it.
Fixing the peak nits of the display fixes the majority of the issues.
IMO this is something that should be signaled in edid, but it's usually fine to ask the user or default to 1knits.
