[SOLVED] How do I reduce the screen brightness?

[Jacob 51]

So when I turn HDR on in windows settings, the screen becomes a lot bright. I don't know if its supposed to be like that. Is it good for the eyes?
I can't change the brightness from the monitor settings. They get greyed out after turning on HDR. Isn't there a way to reduce brightness with windows?

Monitor has 300 nits brightness. Acer KG241Qs

Everything looks okay with the high brightness, but I've never used it so it seems strange and It'll take time for my eyes to adapt.

Turning on HDR improves color a lot.

Specs:
Core i5 3470
GT 1030
Zebronics H61
12 GB RAM
Windows 10 64 bit October update (Didn't update further because of performance loss.)

According to your monitor's specs, it does not support HDR. You need to have a compatible monitor and cable to use it properly.

No, It Supports HDR, HDR can Be Enabled in The Monitor's OSD. It Says In Display Settings That It Is Capable Of HDR. I Can Turn On HDR From The Display Settings...

I Will Post A Screenshot When I Get Home

Ok, then Acer needs to update their product page.

The only model they mention with HDR is KG281K A

Also, surprisingly the image is dull. The monitor is 50% more brighter than in the image.

Yes. That's what I am saying. That option is greyed out and doesn't work when the button is pressed. It can be changed again if I put the display settings to User mode in the monitor, but then the colours become B/W
