The black level seems very high for a CRT. I'd
expect something like 0.05 to 0.1 for the Black Y value.
How black can you get it if you turn the brightness/contrast
down a long way ?

By doing it iteratively in the order the menu presents it. You'll
certainly get into trouble if your controls are reversed. Normally
on a CRT the "brightness" control offsets all the signals,
while the "contrast" control scales all the signals. It's usually
easy enough to figure out which knob does what by playing with
it and observing the display.
The documentation recommends that you at least to black level,
white point, black level and then check, and continue
until it's satisfactory.

I can't see anything obvious with you attached file. What is
it meant to show ? Are you sure you haven't simply captured
the original pixel values, rather than the visible effect
after calibration ?
