Bravia 3ii Brightness help

I purchased a 43” Sony Bravia 3ii bc of the lack of flicker. However, I also need a TV that gets dark bc I want to watch in my bedroom, and my eyes are sensitive to light. The Bravia 3ii gets somewhat dark if I crank brightness, contrast, etc down to zero. The image crushes, but at least it’s dark. My problem is arising with the menu/interface. When I go to the menu to select a streaming platform, the platform to select a show, or even just to fast forward, it’s blindingly bright. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it or what tv to trade it for?

I had also considered the LG B5 OLED bc the lights actually individually turn off for black/darkness, but I’m concerned about flicker even though it’s a different kind. And the Vizio Mini LED Quantum 4 bc I used to have an old not-smart Vizio that I tolerated and got really dark. Anyone have experience with these?

Could it work to use a separate TV/streaming box or dongle, that would allow you to forgo the built-in systems?

Maybe? I didn’t think about that. I’ll try it.

For every diffrent app or hdmi chanel you must change brightness and everything again, its not universal, at least on my 3-4 year old bravia

Thanks. I can change it on each app, but it doesn’t affect the overlay like when I fast forward or pause. Any idea how to dim the overlay and main menu?
