It is horror - how to tune new CRT monitor, help!

New CRT is tuned to be setup incorrectly:
The brightness and contrast - due to new big capabilities is
more than at normal level, and to tune them correctly is hard:
Bright linearity is made pure linear - 100% and 50% of color digits means 100% and 50% of brightness, gamma=1.0 -but right monitor must be tuned to 100% and 70% .
This is incorrect gamma.

On old monitors -for right picture- gamma must be 2.5,
as written on professional articles.

On new I made 1.4 but there is not sure that it right point-not generated from dependency of incorrectly tuned other parameters.

By one parameter you can tune more well, but second -
not corresponding to eye limits, but not good detectable -will destroy your eye.


Old monitors not makes eye ill even if color temperature is 9300, new works with real physical pain with such temperature.

Eye can be tuned by contrast at middle of brightness proportionality graph, but in linear case all over horizontal line of eye possibility will be just pure painful.

It really possible to destroy eye.

By science sure can be tuned system with ONE parameter,
for two we can not find on plate a point.
For three parameters in 3D configuration space we surely cannot find a right point.

There is good advices for find a good algorithm how to find correct point.
For example - a pictures permitting, to tune separate
just one parameter.
And then else?s.


Please help with advices.
Thanks you.

I would recommend setting brightness and contrast to a level that was comfortable to YOUR eyes under YOUR lighting conditions, and not worry about it any further. There is nothing to be gained by obsessing on some theoretical ideal (which I don't believe can even exist).

Also, make sure you are running somewhere between 75-100Hz refresh rate on a CRT to help reduce eye-strain. That's it.

I so understand:
How is it possible to destroy eye, so well ?

You see visually normal, due to eye self-tuning,
but really over lighting by blue component that is effectibely invisible on the phone of others.

The one thing of possible many on big range of Super-bright regulations on new monitors.

You may not worry any feather and destroy your work ability or eye.

Right Point exist surely - on me job old monitor.
Or even going to right field around.
But for newest - it is hard to find surely, due to big ranges and some bad initial setup making more hard to do it.

Need to be correct.

Does my question is important?
