No, I can resolve all whites although only marginally see 254.

Yes, I can only marginally see block 3 but I think it is not that bad.

I don't need any video card adjustment to achieve the results. CRT is easier
to adjust for dark but beware of the dark level moved too high so you cannot
get rich black, so for me I prefer to leave the '1' un-readable.
BTW, another key is the gamma so you need to pass gamma, white level and
black level.

My EIZO has no contrast adjustment too, only gamma, brightness (actually
backlight) and RGB (or you can use color temp.). I don't think it is
necessary to have sharpness control in LCD unless to compensate for eyesight
problem :-)
