XL-100 brightness....too much!!

I've noticed that on my 3 XL-100 consoles that all have excellent (or brand new) picture tubes that they are literally hurt-your-eyes bright and vivid.

I guess I shouldn't complain, and I've been told that's just the way they are....needing to compete with the Trinitrons of the day. That, and normally people were watching them from 10 plus feet away, and I'm about 3 feet away.

But is there any way to turn them down a bit? When I reduce the screen controls, the colors are way too saturated.
