That's exactly what I was expecting with the control, but at one end I get 0 signal, when I turn it up at one point I get low signal followed immediately with normal signal. What I can't get is the wackadoodle picture no matter how high I crank the control.

I will admit that I am guilty of that from time to time. When I set the brightness control at it's proper value for viewing in a dimly lit room, and the source is full motion video, the problem is almost unnoticeable. Almost unnoticeable doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist though. It needs to be found and repaired.
