Tv brightness, settings, Roku tv

I watch Hulu live at night and want to adjust the brightness. I have a Roku tv but clicking the star doesn’t give me picture settings, just audio, captions, and accessibility.

    2. Scroll and select Settings.
    3. Select TV picture settings.
    4. Select TV brightness.
    5. Select Auto to enable ambient sensing (if your set has this option) or select a constant brightness level.
    6. Press OK on your remote.

      I appreciate you trying to help but I think there’s something wrong with my tv because I don’t have tv picture settings in my settings

      I change the selection from "Brighter" to "Darker" and nothing happens... I work night shifts and the lighting is really low so a bright TV gives me headaches... Anything I can do to fix this without resetting the whole TV?
