Default Brightness and Contrast settings

Setting up my new monitor showed up something else. Ignoring colour for a while ..... Brightness and Contrast.

I spent a bit of time in the gallery last night, initially a general look then more specific member galleries.

When I started viewing I was startled by the what I was seeing. As in post processing these factors would have an effect on the degree of contrast and sharpening applied when posting for the web.

I hope my monitor is now reasonably set for this. If I had been a contributor to this thread with my previous settings I would probably have been crucified. I have found some of my gallery to be oversharpened as I usually give pics a touch of usm after resizing. Guess some noticed and did not comment.

So do you think it would be worthwhile posting on this thread a couple of reference pictures from those with well adjusted monitors. Harrys wasp on this thread was one that I used.
