There is no contrast control. Brightness is always at minimum. I turned down Sub Bright but the H sync still goes off.

that's nuts. No contrast? I've never seen a set without contrast. It's also called "picture" on some sets, usually older ones. If you have no contrast or picture control anywhere on the set, then your contrast is controlled by the drive controls for the guns, of which there ought to be all three (RGB) if you really don't have any manual picture or contrast knob. but that just seems too far fetched
