Thats the telltale sign of a monitor whose native whitepoint is mismatched
from its calibrated whitepoint. Tell me, if you are choking the blue gun back
down with the Video LUTs, why do you feel that running it high in the front
panel settings increases the final luminance? Is the front panel 6500 setting
actually a bit low in the green and blue? One angle on this is to set the
whitpoint at the matching preset, or the one above it the matching one isn't
quite high enough, and this may be your case. Brightness, if the device is
not a dim glow, is set via luminance, not white point, which is merely a
balance of the RG&B channels.
