First thing I did in the menu settings was go to where it said "turn down the brightness until the 6 is barely visible". So I turned it down, to minimum, the 6 was still clearly visible, really really easily. So I thought "Ah well, it might not be all that dark but it'll still be dark enough to be atmospheric".
Then I started the game, missed most of Leon's cutscene because it was practically just a black screen, and once the game started I put the brightness back up to 16.
That seems just about right for me.
