Thanks again.  I like the idea of trying custom luminances.  If I wish to set the B&W luminances (black left blank and white at 125), what's the best way to access this dialog window so I can make these settings?  I know I could go to Expert Console and check measured mode, but is there a better way than this?
     What's the difference between starting the process at the factory default level (which in my case is 50% brightness and 50% contrast) or changing the brightness value to get CIExyY to about 125 before I start calibrating?

Thanks,
Matthew Kraus
