Brightness on a CRT

So I've got my Mister connected via DSUB15 to SCART cable on a PVM. Some cores come in a little bright for my taste. I'm aware of the filters within these cores and I have access to my TV's service menu so I could adjust things there if need be, but before I play around with those. Is there a universal Mister setting that let's me lower the brightness?

If I mess around with the brightness on the TV it may effect other actual consoles I play on. Same goes for my TV's service menu. There an option within the ini I can use or am I left at the mercy of said filters?

You can play with the setting hdmi_limited. This might make the difference. Edit: forgot you are using the VGA IO board. I don't think that applies in this case.

There is some way in the ini to specify a default scaling filter (though that won't apply to simple analog). Maybe that could also apply to the gamma correction feature though, which does offer some darkening options and IIRC works with analog output.
