Dell ST2220L LED/LCD

[Barney]

As some know I just got a new PC. I got a 21.5" Dell ST2220L monitor. It was very bright out of the box. I kicked down contrast & sharpness to about half. Still learing the computer & would love to get this display dialed in better. I posted on AVS about this monitor (did a search) but no info about this display. Is it local dimming, how many LED panels, etc. Also would love what settings someone got with some equipment.
I tink I saw somewhere that Windows 7 has a calibration set-up, but I have no clue where that would be. Any info/links would be great. Thanks

Using the color profile for the monitor should be just about all that is needed once the monitor is set to its default settings. After that, the only improvement you can do is get your hands on a hardware calibration tool. I use the Pantone Huey Pro for my monitors:

Click start, control panel, display. Left hand column there will be a color calibration option.
