Well, changing it manually, after the monitor is calibrated and profiled 
isn't ideal, nor is it measured or repeatable. The idea is to determine the 
correct monitor white luminance (contrast control) and black luminance (brightness 
control) as part of your calibration process. This allow multiple monitors to 
be matched, and relates all of them to the ambient/proofing light. Just messing 
with the controls is the cowboy approach.
