I think I failed to correctly state the problem. Allow me to try again:

Until I exercise any of the options such as Shutdown or Reboot, the 
Display is perfect; ie, correct Brightness and Contrast with excellent 
resolution.

The Display only exhibits the Burning/CRT Blooming affect when the 
Shutdown or Restart option is selected and the selected process is 
initiated.

Sorry for the confusion.
