What does the user manual that came with your TH-P50UT50C say about custom mode?

Picture Mode: You must be in the Custom Mode to make the following adjustments. These Pro Settings may not be adjusted in the other Picture modes.

in other mode the Brightness MAX setting is +50 the guide give +64

so yp i must get the Custom Mode!

As you noted yourself, you have another (Chinese) model than the model discussed in that sales note.
That seems a perfect explanation.

You didn't answer my question about what the original user manual that came with the machine says. So all I can say now, that if you buy the right model (see your link) most likely it will have customer mode. But it won't harm to check the user manual before you buy it.
