63% Brightness

80% Contrast

50% Saturation

Default settings on my MX279H sRGB profile. My other MX279H's sRGB profile has brightness at 58%ish for some reason. Can't check right now as it's at another location...

0% brightness. 30% if the sun hits directly on the screen. Any higher and it's like getting laser surgery to your eyes.

I have the Dell U2410. Using AdobeRGB color profile

 

As I like colors, I don't use the garbage F. lux.

Do you have any issues with the monitor shutting off when brightness is at 0 when games launch or you Alt+tab out of games?

My U2312 does that and it's kind of annoying sometimes.

What? no. Why would it turn it off?

I know the U2312. This if this happens with you, this is not normal.

You can try and disable DDC/CI on the monitor in the case there is some interference with the GPU that send confusing signal that the monitor thinks that it's a DDC/CI protocol command, and turns off the monitor, but else than that... something is wrong.

Yeah, I was getting flickering when my brightness was set to 0 for a while but I turned off energy saver and it seemed to fix it. I could RMA but I really don't want to go back to my old Asus VE245 with it's bad color and terrible viewing angles.

Dell allows you to keep your monitor while you wait for your replacement.

The replacement monitor will have in the box, a pre-paid shipping label. Just swamp the monitors, and stick the prepaid shipping label over the old one, and call the appropriate mail carrier to pick it up. If you don't like the replacement (has an issue) contact Dell to send you another one, just return it replacement back, and keep your original one.

I was expecting a number like 120cd/m2 at least from you not this percentage measurement that mortals use! :)  anyway I don't know my color calibration device adjusts  the luminance dynamically...

CCFL at work is on 100%(300cd/m2), CCFL at home - 100%(300cd/m2). For LED ideal max brightness value would be exactly 200cd/m2.

the ideal monitor brightness is the one that visually matches the brightness of your prints viewed under controlled viewing conditions.
The numbers are totally irrelevant. It really depends  on the brightness of a room.

Dell U2312HM @ 55%. Can't have it basically any higher because at >60% it starts getting painfully bright if I look at it for long.
