Great time for me to discover this game no longer works on my rig - crashes on the menu if you try to touch video settings. Googled it, known bug, and Bethesda aren't interested in fixing it. Ah well.
It's noticeable but I've already gotten used to it. Loving this display. Doom Eternal in HDR/4K/RT/OLED really is something special.

I had the very same issue. Turns out, if you rename this folder:
C:\Users\*profile name*\Saved Games\id Software
then launch the game again, it might help. It worked for me. I think the game got confused with my previous video settings.

Tried it, no dice, thank you for the suggestion though. I've tried quite a few things, none worked!

just a note:
brightness is never an issue with monitors unless the room is bright.
much more important than "brightness" is the spectrum of light emitted. this was a huge problem on CRT and early LCD monitors are the light was far too high frequency for accuracy, comfort, and health. most folks know that CRTs emitted UV to X-rays (more X-rays at beginning fewer at EOL).
most folks didn't realize that all LCD screens before leds were backlit with florescent light which pumped a ton of UV and blue light and those screens were never color accurate, just some were better than others.
leds present a different problem. leds can be made to emit "natural white" light. but most sets don't bother. leds can also get far too bright for any application other than in-field recording/playback. so there is quite a big distinction between color correct led monitors and gaming led monitors. there are a few that straddle the line and of course i like those better. so costs keep most led monitors bluish instead of white.
there is no need for any monitor, including gaming monitor to have a peak brightness over 600-800 nits which allows for the full gamut HDR to be experienced.
this includes all OLED's as HDR True Black is the highest standard. having a brightness over 1,000 nits is ok if you're in an open floor plan room in the desert with floor to ceiling glass.
the problem is there is a thing as too bright. we're attracted to bright things but the fact is they can do us harm. just as one shouldn't stare at the sun, one shouldn't sit behind an overly bright display as it hurts the eyes and causes fatigue (headaches, blurry vision, lowering peripheral vision).
There's also the 'light bulb' paradigm, whereby each pixel is a lightbulb, on or off, and the more you turn on, the brighter it gets until 1: the power bursts because of the incredible drain, and 2: you get borderline blinded by the screen being simply too bright.
