Calibrating TN

GSTARR · November 18, 2016

I'm trying to calibrate my TN panel (Samsung 2233rz, not the most expensive, grand monitor ever so I'm trying to get the most out of it) and I'm confused on where to go with this website

The goal is to differentiate between all 32 blocks of rgb color going down the line.

Here's the problem,

if I turn down my contrast I can differentiate between all of them (the ones on the right are where the problem is)

If I turn down my brightness, I can differentiate between them all as well.

What I get from this is that the panel doesn't like a huge amount of light being put through it (lowering contrast dims the screen just like turning down the brightness) and I'm concerned on where I should start my contrast and brightness, and which one I should change first

Just looked into some reviews of that monitor, and the general consensus is that its great for gaming, but its colour reproduction isn't that great. Here is a post I found where someone calibrated it and shared their settings:
