Yep. I posted pictures from my CT-100 that look bright, but I had the contrast set low.

Since the 1970s, I have always started the contrast control at minimum and increased it to the lowest level that I thought made a decent picture. Seldom is this more than halfway up, often lower. At high contrast settings, many CRT-based displays are non-linear, and that drives me crazy.
