Definitely the 8360. I don't have 7360.

That explains the differences. Still I don't know where those luminance
voltage levels are coming from. Has someone measured them on a 7360?
On a 8360 I got something like:

L0 1.7v
L1 1.9v
L2 2.0v
L3 2.2v
L4 2.68v
L5 3.1v
L6 3.4v
L7 4.4v
blanking 1.3v
sync 220mv
