Running MacOS 15.7.3 on a Mac Mini M4 with a 43" Samsung Odyssey G7 Neo.

When waking up my computer, my screen goes to full brightness which isn't necessarily my issue, my issue is when I adjust the brightness at all the screen dims (even at fully selected brightness) and it is noticeably dimmer than it was at full brightness when the monitor first woke up.

The monitor doesn't adjust brightness correctly with Hardware DDC Control enabled, so I am using software control only. I have attempted to change the "DDC Max" and that hasn't seemed to make any difference.

Hope I'm explaining this in a way that is understandable.

Thank you
