Windows 10: How do I adjust the brightness on my extended monitors?

The monitors do not have buttons, and when i click the action center it only changes on my laptop. When I disconnect my laptop and attempt to turn the brightness down on the monitor the brightness bar is completely greyed out, as in I cannot change anything. Windows 10.
