A friend has a remote for me, so I will see about adjusting brightness from there.

If it's blue and a bit dim (and not a 1980s XBR) then the picture tube is going, they didn't have the greatest life. Once you have the remote you can go into the service menu (in Standby with Power off, press DISPLAY -> Channel 5 -> Sound Volume + -> POWER) and adjust all aspects of the picture from black white tracking, color temperature, CRT aging color pedestal reference, colorimetry (Red-Blue gain), decoder DC offset, convergence, comb filter tuning, etc. Focus is still on the flyback I believe, Screen bias may be accessible by remote..
