Just bought an Asus ROG G835LW - is this a bug or as intended?

seally
Level 7

Hello,

I just bought myself an Asus ROG Strix Scar G835LW.
It's the model that had Windows 11 preinstalled.

I was absolutely shocked at how bright this thing is both in SDR but especially in HDR.
And I also have an Asus ROG PG32UCDP OLED monitor so that was even more shocking.

After an hour or two it started making its mandatory Windows and Armory Crate updates.

After that something weird happened -> in SDR it became even more bright while in HDR suddenly it became dim.

After I tinkered abit I discovered a Windows setting which I can adjust in order to make it bright again in HDR -> I attached a picture here with it, on my desktop PC I don't have it, it actually says SDR brightness and not HDR brightness like it says on this laptop.

If I adjust this setting on 0 it looks brighter that if I adjust it to 100.
I can even see this effect if I look at the comparision pictures in the menu of the setting.

Is this a Windows bug? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
100 being brighter and 0 being dimmer?

I attached an image of the issue:
