Digital BW, The Print

Using Paul Roark's step wedge (Files) my SynchMaster192N LCD monitor 
distinctly /easily separates every 5% up to 90% in fairly bright
indirect daylight, faintly (but actually) visually separating 90-95-100%. 

In use it appears somewhere between EEM and Moab Entrada.

I use no external devices to calibrate, do find monitor's B&W
contrast/density/tones accurate Vs prints except for graininess, which
can hide tiny dust for prints above A4. 

I'm dealing with a lot of sharp-grained fast 35mm B&W (various films
at 800ei w/Rodinal or Neofin), the monitor's grain is no issue with
finer films. Sins of my youth :-)

Does/do your LCD monitor/s differentiate distinctly /easily in bright
room light between 90-95-100% ? What LCD monitor are you using? Your
grain experience..is there a way to reduce monitor grain?
