I imagine you may survive an unexpected weather encounter, but you won't survive an unexpected terrain encounter
In the planes I've flown with LCDs, I've never had a problem with dimming the terrain as much as I please. Do you use CRTs?
I've often wondered about why the weather display can be turned so low myself. Doesn't seem to make sense. On airplanes with the new radar, you actually get a message on the ND when weather is detected, prompting you to increase the brightness if required.
