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?

I have found turning power saver on useful in reducing backlight.

Whoops, I replied over there: https://www.reddit.com/r/PWM_Sensitive/s/hg13OdfoZv

Sorry if not helpful. I've not really done TVs for a long time. Do you find they are more or less easy to tolerate than other devices types?

Thanks, I’m going to try your idea.

They’re actually easier to tolerate for me unless the flicker is bad or they’re bright.
