Good emission but bad cutoff would give you an overly bright picture, lacking in contrast, as the grid cannot effectively "pinch off" the beam current to produce the dark parts of the image.

Some rejuvenators can actually cause this problem, by eroding the control grid aperture when drawing the heavy current used to restore the cathode.
