Digital BW, The Print

Pushing the bottom button on the controls on the lower right hand side of the screen brings up a settings menu which lists Brightness/Contrast at the top.  Then pushing the next button up puts the orange "cursor" on the brightness control.  Then the top two buttons allow you to raise or lower the brightness.  Mine is set at 10 to get the 80 cd/m2 as measured by my i1 Display 2 using the i1Match software.  The monitor controls use a scale and do not directly give cd/m2 readings.  I imagine that different units even of the same model give different cd/m2s at the same setting.  My contrast setting is at 100.

Hope this helps - any more questions please ask.

 Mike, I do too have a dell 2209WA
 monitor. where do you set the 80 cd/M2? I looked through all
 the settings and do not see any options like that. Maybe it
 has another name. Could you help me?
  
 Thanks.

       Thanks Mr.Brubaker
 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

     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.
