I've been trying enabling HDR off and on for the last few months. Color washout was horrible for quite awhile, but now it seems fixed. I re-enabled HDR a couple weeks ago but have not been able to get the screen brightness to a comfortable level. It was super annoying to see the bright SDDM log in screen only to have my screens dim so much after log in that I had to turn off the room lights and squint a bit. I was just hanging on thinking there would be a fix, but nothing yet. Then, I discovered I was a dummy when I finally saw the screen brightness controls in the system tray added by a some update in the past. Hurray! I can see my screens in daylight again!
However, it appears when my screens go into power saving mode due to non-use, they restore to - maybe random - low levels. I've only seen this once so far, but after setting both screens at 30% and returning awhile later, screen 1 restored at 1% and screen 2 to 3%.
I can find no entry in Systems Settings to set a default brightness - only "Night Light" screen temps.
Alternately, just having it restore to the previous setting would be even better.
EDIT: Well, yesterdays update and a reboot and the brightness settings were retained. I don't know why, but at least it's fixed - for now.
