S2721DGFA, causing eye strain, help

So I got this S2721DGFA and I really liked it. The colors seemed ok when I got them, but when I updated my drivers all the problems came. Darks became VERY dark, and colors like red became VERY neon like.

I can't stand looking at my S2721DGFA anymore as its like looking directly into the sun. I thought IPS were IPS, which is what my eyes can handle, but apparently Nano IPS really hurts my eyes really bad.

Is there anything I can do about it, or should I return it? The weird thing is it kinda worked ok before my driver update, it was like it was running sRGB mode, but when I updated it was like "Oh, this is the type of monitor you got, let's go full RBG on that bad boy". Is there anything I can do to make it sRGB like again, or should I return this unit?

I really like it, but it's a pretty expensive monitor to get the same experience as looking directly into the sun.
