New flatscreen monitor

[guv]

Hmm, can anyone offer some advice to a well-intentioned techno-ignoramus? Well, I've been getting by with analogue ones for years and have got used to them, but now I've got around to getting a new one I'm not sure how to set up the display for the best. It seems to make sense to have it nice and bright so that I can enjoy the higher definition, but I don't want to burnn out my retinas by accident! Also, despite fiddling with the brightness and contrast the darker ares in a film can look too dark and it makes it less enjoyable to watch films.

Any good general tips?

Thanks, shadygiz. I've tried that and it's not ideal. But I think my "problem" might just be first day nerves because I wasn't used to it.

Does it have the option to have several presets? You can then set it up so it's right for you while doing different things, then swap between them at will.
