Try turning off True Tone. That might make the screen appear “duller.” At night you might also look at Night Shift and see if that’s not on at night.

True Tone just Adapts to the lighting conditions in the current environment By yellowing the display, [which is just a transition for easy reading on your eyes.] I don’t think that would make any difference in terms of making the display ‘duller’.
 
I can definitely tell the difference between the XR and 11 displays versus XS Max and 11 Pro Max, especially in terms of smooth text and crisp images, Apples font definitely gives away a lower resolution screen versus a high resolution one.

Go to Settings- Display & Text Size - Colour Filters - Select Blue/Yellow Filter and adjust it to something you may like

On my 11 Pro Max I like it at around this setting:

EDIT:

Go to Settings- Accessibility - Display & Text Size - Colour Filters - Select Blue/Yellow Filter and adjust it to something you may like

That’s the method I use instead of Trutone. I however, use the yellow option for filter. I prefer a slight yellow tint but trutone is too much yellow.

Interesting, this just came up:
https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-vs-iphone-11-which-phone-is-best-for-you/#ftag=CAD590a51e

iPhone X has a smaller, sharper, more premium display
Another key difference between the iPhone X and iPhone 11 is screen technology. The iPhone X is the clear winner in this category because it has a higher resolution display with better build quality. While the iPhone 11 dons a larger LCD display, the iPhone X features a more compact OLED display with a 2,436x1,125-pixel resolution, which is higher than the iPhone 11's resolution (1,792x828). In general, OLED displays serve up better image quality with blacker blacks and whiter whites, but they're also more costly. When I compared the iPhone X and iPhone 11 screens side by side, however, I didn't notice a difference in quality, in both dark mode and normal.
 
...I'm sorry your expectations weren't met, but did you do any research on this beforehand?

Yes, it's true, phones are still not as capable as computers.

Non-average customers would likely be happier with Pro models.

No, I didn't do much, I just wanted the iPhone since I felt it was easier for everyday use (face id, text messages displayed on the lock screen once face id validates your identity)

It's fine, I'm be researching and I don't see the point if your not watching movies, videos on the phone.

I'll probably see what's the best to do, it's gonna be about 450 more after I sell the 11.
