If you mean "turn the brightness down" to somehow improve the picture, that won't help much.
For any TV in a specific ambient light setting, there is only ONE correct setting for brightness. Once it is correctly set, turning it down will reduce detail in dark scenes by causing the darkest shades to merge together; and turning it up will "lighten" the dark scenes making them appear washed out.
The only proper way to correctly adjust brightness is with a proper calibration disk under normal ambient viewing conditions.

I looked at both interlaced and progressive scan before choosing progessive scan. That took me a long time to decide which I liked best.
If you think that you were somehow comparing interlaced to progressive, I'd be curious to know what you were looking at?
In the case of LCD and/or Plasma sets, they are all* progressive scan.

*with the rare exception of a few Hitachi "ALIS" products.
