I had difficulty using that method on my Dell LCD monitor. I still use my JVC professional CRT monitor for editing and color correcting. I set my Dell for default color and Multimedia under color settings. Brightness: between 15-38, Contrast: 75-76 seems close on mine. Don't forget the video card adjustments need tweaking as well.
