I have the icc profile that I created from my Eye One. You can set your Soyo the same as my monitor, and use the profile. While it will not be completely accurate, it should be close enough. Tell me if you want my icc profile.
First, a couple of good articles:
http://www.poynton.com/notes/brightness_and_contrast/
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11249_7-5582255-5.html
And, an image I made to assist with Brightness (Backlight) and Contrast (white level):

Set the brightness control so you can see the tips of most/all of the patterns iin the dark side. (Upper ones are harder, but have best range)
Set the contrast control until you can just see the tips in the white area.
Unfortuntely, if you turn the brighness way down to avoid getting a sunburn, you'll lose black detail. I'm going to try and find out if there's a service menu that will let you offset the black level to compensate for lowered backlight brightness. As it is now, I have to run the brighness up to 100 to see the 250 value against the 255 background, and that's way too bright.. (I can feel the heat from the light)
Also, if you're runnning two of these, here's a full desktop wallpaper thas spans both. (Shot along the Blue Ridge parkway)

And, my setup, before and after:
