Ok so most monitors sold today support DDC/CI controls for at least brightness, and some support controlling color profiles over the DDC/CI interface.

If you get some kind of external ambient light sensor and plug it into a USB port, you might be able to configure a script that controls the brightness of the monitor based on ambient light, without buying a new monitor.

Ah yes, just buy some gadget, write some scripts and maybe it actually works if my monitor supports it. OR I KEEP USING DARK MODE. Choices choices...

I've thought about this as well, but I haven't been able to find such a light sensor.
