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.

I went down to 118 cd. As there is no "contrast" button on my iMac, I must rely on the "brightness" one.
I did a calibration at that level with my Spyder4. You bet it's dim (even at 118); like you said , it's an adaptation process.
Thanks
