Could that be what I'm experiencing here? I am adjusting my brightness control up and then down.

The lower I set the picture brightness the better the picture. The best picture is actually dimmer than my camera can pick up and must be viewed in a pitch black room. I thought that the picture was loosing focus, but perhaps it is loosing contrast and that makes it look like it is loosing focus.
