Please be more specific about the set itself.
When you turn the contrast down "the black level suffers." Do you mean the blacks are too dark, or too bright?
Certain colors bother you. Does the picture look too bright or too dark or have an over-all tint when you turn the color all the way down and view in black and white? Can you get a pleasing result for the problem colors by turning down the color control? Are other colors then too muted?

When I turn the contrast down, blacks are too dark. The picture doesn't have an overall tint of one particular color but it is too bright. Specifically, only the brighter colors involving red, green, brown and yellow are too bright. In order for the picture to not hurt my eyes, I have to turn down the color control and contrast so much that the picture then looks dull. I do sort of have a point of reference for the Toshiba set as I used to own the same model of Toshiba set before. The previous CF27F30 model that I owned before had a more worn out tube as there was a slight yellowish tint to the picture. However, on that previous model that I owned, the colors were not too bright and the picture didn't hurt my eyes at all. The brightness was perfectly balanced.
As for my JVC CRT, I suspect that something is wrong because before I even opened the set up to do any adjustments, the picture was still way to bright, even when I turned the contrast down to zero. I had to open the set up and turn the contrast pot down on the main board.
