Those early light faced CRT's were never intended to be watched in a room with that much ambient lighting. You need to remember that CRT's can't produce darkness, they can only get brighter than their turned off state. Therefore the black area of the picture can only become as dark as the face of the unlit CRT for any ambient light setting, which is why the contrast seems low in such a well lit room. In my opinion that CRT's contrast looks about normal for that amount of room lighting.
