The three PGM-based PCBs of Ketsui, Dodonpachi-DOJ and ESPgaluda are notorious for having such super bright RGB output levels. By going into the Operator's Menu screen and selecting "Cross Adjust" -- you can fine-tune the brightness level to your liking and go with that. Easy as pie. ^_~

I don't remember there being brightness and contrast controls on the PGM based cave boards?

What I meant was by gaining access to the PGM-based PCB's "dot cross grid" screen setup and doing the fine-tuning of said arcade RGB monitor using the monitor's on-board adjustment pot trims. Good as gold. Yes, PGM based Cave boards don't have brightness or contrast controls on-board whatsoever. Sorry for the confusion regarding that issue. ^_~
