    I would recommend either 2 200k potentiometers connected in series (resulting resistance of 400k), or alternatively a single 500k (or at least! a 200k) potentiometer. Keep in mind that the latter will have less precision in lower resistance (=higher voltage) ranges.
    Anything less, concerning the total resistance, would give too much of a default voltage bump IMHO.

    Set (all) the potentiometer(s) to their/its max. resistance and connect them/it bewteen pin#19 and pin#14. That should work. Maybe you got a black screen because you hit the OVP voltage limit. Then you could consider yourself lucky.

    BTW: What the heck does that mean "50 h vr"?

    And another thing:

    I'm sorry, if this sounds rude, but do you even remotely know what you are doing?
    Why would you want to measure resistancee between pin#1 and pin#19, which correspond to "EN" and "Vfb"? What do you think has the "Enable" pin to do with the feedback in terms of a vmod.

    directly to VREF.
