I've just set up a new monitor with my laptop running Windows 11, and I downloaded the Monitorian app to help lower the brightness. However, the app doesn't seem to recognize the monitor at all, and I can't adjust the brightness. It's really uncomfortable for my eyes. I've already restarted my computer and updated the drivers, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone offer a solution?

You might want to check your standard Windows settings first. Sometimes the brightness control is just disabled due to driver issues or Windows not recognizing your graphics card properly. If it's a driver problem, updating your display drivers or troubleshooting Windows might help.
It's really frustrating when apps don’t work as expected. Have you tried accessing the display settings directly through Windows? Right-click on the desktop, go to 'Display settings,' and see if brightness options are available there. If not, it could be a compatibility issue with the monitor itself.
I've heard that sometimes certain monitors need specific drivers straight from the manufacturer. Have you checked their website for any updates? That could be the missing piece you need!
The issue might be that the monitor itself has no built-in brightness controls. If that's the case, it could explain why the Monitorian app doesn't provide a slider. Try looking into the settings for your graphics card as well.
