Reducing Brightness on Raider 18 HX A14VHG?

Hello everyone, I just bought the Raider 18 HX A14VHG-256US 18" UHD+ laptop.

This 4k screen is BRIGHT! So bright that even with brightness at 0% and nightlight at 100%, it still hurts my eyes in a well lit room, I can only imagine how its going to be when I turn the lights off.

Is there any way to make the screen less bright, other than what I have already done?

EDIT: I went into display settings and turned on HDR, which turned on the brightness to 100%! (it killed my eyes) BUT after putting the brightness back to 0%, it became even dimmer than without HDR off. I know some may think it's because my eyes are adjusting but it actually is dark now!

Nevertheless, any additional tips are helpful!
