Calibrating video settings

[Fel]

how do you guys balance between having good colors and being able to see in the dark? just got my new pc up and running with nvidia, and as soon as i get to the point of being able to properly see dark objects, everything else gets terribly washed out.

This is especially important in cs for me, if the colors arent just right it is is difficult to see in dark camping spots.

im going to continue messing around, but share some of your methods that are better than randomly moving the bars around.

Use brightness to set the black level and contrast to set max brightness.

It could be something as simple as a shitty monitor.
