Re: is this the right place?-- Q. about changing factory preset Contrast on Toshiba CRT

The disc you refer to is "Digital Video Essentials" and it's worth buying a copy and playing with your CRT's picture settings. The settings that most TVs allow users to adjust are brightness, contrast, sharpness and colour, and sometimes hue as well. I don't know your screen so I can't say whether or not you'll get an improvement but it's probable that you will. It still may not be enough of an improvement to satisfy youâ€”I'm told some TVs simply don't let you get all that good a picture. I used Digital Video Essentials with my old NEC CRT and the end result was much improved but I couldn't get the colour setting quite perfect, though that apparently is common.

Even if using the disc doesn't fix your problem, it won't be money wasted. You can take the disc with you when you next go shopping for a TV and use it to help ensure that you buy a screen that can give a good picture, plus it can help you keep that picture quality over time if there's any drift in the TV's settings.
