Even if those pots can be adjusted to correct the image after it's stabilized, I guess that means it will be way *too* bright for the first few minutes... no danger of overloading something there? no do not worry about it , old monitors are like this it's actually common practice to allow " …

nice monitor! glad you found one in the end :) well jm2c here...

I'd say just enjoy the SC-55 it's a great unit I actually prefer the old GS-only ones and it's the unit I power up in games even though I have a mk2 don't let small insignificant differences spoil your gaming 😉
