After some time and research I have HDR configured properly for both consoles and they look absolutely fantastic. Significant difference compared to SDR.
This monitor supports HDR 1000 (since it has a peak brightness of around 1000 nits at 2% APL) but the setting is not obvious.
Essentially you need to enable "Game HDR" (HGIG) and disable all other active tone mapping options.
Then you need to switch the "peak brightness" setting to High to enable HDR1000.
Then you need to make sure your source is properly calibrated for HDR.
Here are the best videos I found for calibrating the Switch 2 and PS5 properly:

PS5: https://youtu.be/mAtULIEQvjQ?si=
And finally I highly recommend using the following settings from TFTCentral for making sure SDR and HDR colors look good:

Depending on how many inputs you plan to use, you could also extract audio from the arc-enabled HDMI port with an HDMI audio extractor adapter.
The USB-to-aux is the easiest and cheapest option IMO and works great for a simple audio setup (don't need DTS/Dolby etc.).
