Have you actually tried this in a blacked-out room?

Mine can't be dimmed to black. I have one built very early in
production, but it's had every sw update. At minimum brightness, it'a a
bit too bright for me for night flying.

No. I haven't tried it in a blacked-out room. I've tried it in my
windowless garage which leaks a little light around the door. I have
firmware version 2.10 which is pretty old, and I have the contrast set in
the middle where the white, gray, and black bars are all easily
distinguishable.
