Unhappy Dashboard dimmer?

Is anyone else bothered by the 2021 F150 Hybrid's dashboard screen brightness at night? I had an issue until I learned from the subsequent post that there is a dual button adjustment setting located next to the headlight dial.

I can't believe your dealership didn't know this. Thank you for updating.

The dimming buttons near the headlight controls dims the dash information screen between the gauges and backlit buttons simultaneously. Is there any way to dim the gauge information screen on the dash separate from the button backlighting? I find that I have to dim the screen way down at night to the point that the buttons are hard to see.

Not even through something light Forscan? That's disappointing.

Isn't there a button that allows you to shut the central display off?

For the radio yes, but I'm referring to the display between the tach and speedo. For reference I have the 8" display there.
