Digital BW, The Print

I have my Dell 2209WA monitor set to 80 cd/M2 and have a pretty good relationship between the screen and the print.  When set this low your monitor is initially going to look too dim, but your eyes will adjust in time.  Also, I found that it took at least 55 minutes for the monitor to get to the set brightness.  The monitor is an IPS CCFL backlit design that was well rated when I bought it 4-5 years ago.  I am curious how fast LED backlit monitors reach the set brightness.

Recommendations I found when searching the net for brightness settings ranged between 80 and 120, but at the lower end for photo work.

The i1Display2 software also has you set the monitor's contrast all the way up to the highest setting as you start the process.

       HiI searched for
 an answer in the the group but I can't find an answer
 that is helpful.
 I'm using an Eb-6 and
 1430 combination; I'm getting better at profiling but as
 far as wysiwyg, I'm a bit  off. Tried to create an
 "action" in Photoshop to alleviate the problem but
 it's quite hard.Then I read that
 Apple displays are much too bright (I use a 27" iMac).
 Even though I calibrate my display with a Spyder4 probe and
 I control the "brightness" of the room, I
 can't seem to find who bright should be the display.
 Actually, I made some measurements and played with the
 brightness control of the iMac to see why's coming out
 (playing with the brightness after calibration); I
 "top" at 432 cd/m2.
 Is there a
 "golden" number in brightness that I should work
 with?
 Thanks
 Jacques
