This feature was generally found in high-end Magnavox color sets, such as their fabulous 25" three-way entertainment center (TV, phono, AM-FM radio) of the mid-'60s, and a few standalone console TVs of the same vintage. It could be defeated by a switch if the user wanted to set brightness and/or contrast manually.
