Black point of the monitor needs to be set so that you can see shadow detail in the picture. Make sure that your video card is in 24 bit mode. Increase the brightness control of your monitor until you can see all three checker patterns below. Then decrease brightness until you can't make out pattern "Intensity 3" anymore. Contrast adjustment can change things, so fiddle with brightness again after you finished setting white point.
