Thanks.
The darkening continues over 5 to 10 minutes, but fast enough that you can see a change in under 30 seconds to a minute.
I gave the set had a total recap when I first got it.
Yes, the contrast modification was made. In the category of full-disclosure of dumbness I accidentally wired the contrast control backwards, so max contrast has been CCW ever since, but I think this can't have anything to do with the problem because it's capacitively coupled in the rewired configuration, and besides, it worked fine after reconfiguring.
