Hiya.
How about "Other"? I use the Color Calibration tool that comes with the forceware drivers for my Leadtech A4 GeForce 6800 GT (256MB). I calibrate it any time the light level changes significantly (re: day/night, blinds open/closed/half-open, etc.). It's easy, and takes about 20 seconds.
If I do it 'manually', I just change my desktop bg to black and then adjust Brightness so that black looks black. It's slowly becomeing a pet peeve of mine, where people (especially those making visual computer arts; games, 3d, d2, etc.) just crank up their Brightness and Contrast to 100%, post a screen shot, and everyone (like me) who has actually calibrated their monitor sees pretty much nothing but a black picture with a pin prick of light here and there.

Thanks for answer ..And thats my problem.I set Brightness and Contrast to 100% and i realized that not everybody do that .So my levels may display very dark on others PC ,especially laptops.And im myself as a player annoyed by too dark levels.

I have my 19-inch CRT monitor's brightness at 50% and contrast at 100%. Even with the brightness at 50%, the brightest white is a little hard on my eyes do it's brightness and I was thinking of lowering it to even 40%. I'm highly adapted for the dark and bright daylight takes a long time for me to get used to.
I use mathematics as a guide to choosing colors. This way, even if I have my monitor's brightness at just 20%, as an example, I could still get the effects I'm after as if I was using the average setting.
