Here's one plausible theory: Over time, black level and white level
acquired their nomenclature because of the effect adjusting them had
on viewers' pictures. IE: "Hon, could you make the picture a little
*brighter*?"
To me, they don't. Turning up the brightness knob only washes out the
image for me, but it isn't any brighter! Contrast, otoh, definitely
impacts how "bright"(vivid) a b&w or color TV image is.
Any other theories??
