So I have a question about brightness control and where it should start affecting the brightness. I never paid much attention to it, but today I decided to follow "proper" adjustment of contrast and brightness. Brightness is supposed to be first and you bring it up to bring out detail in dark areas, but not so much that they turn grey. Then you adjust contrast to bring up the overall brightness of the image. When I turned both controls down, I started to up the brightness, but noticed there was no affect until about 2/3 of the rotation range or so before it started to show. I thought it might be because I had the contrast down too low, so I set that to about center. Still, the brightness didn't start kicking in until around the 2/3 rotation.

Is this correct? I have no knowledge of being able to set the brightness range on this set and the SM has not info, either. All I can set is the brightness limiter. If the control should have more of a range, then maybe I have an issue somewhere in that circuit.
