Every time a game gives me a slider and says 'slide it until the left side is barely visible', I'll do that and slide it until it's actually barely visible.
And then, inevitably everytime this is the result: https://ibb.co/4fvxkY6
Can you see anything? Because I sure can't.
I'm someone who cares about and wants atmosphere in games, and darkness is an important part of that. (here's an example of why dark lighting can be cool!

Except not seeing anything can't be a part of it. Even in alien isolation, darkness means it's dark. Not 'your screen is turned off'
my monitor has HDR10. VA screen. 300 CD/m^2. 5000:1 darkness contrast.
I don't even think HDR is on, But sometimes I'll turn it off and on just to test if it makes any difference.
Despite this, Yeah Long story short most games are completely pitch black. I honestly don't understand what's going on. I'm wondering if this is normal or if it's got something to do with my screen or not having calibrated my screen colors properly.
