I think it depends on the monitor. I've used some monitors where the
brightness goes up way higher than other models (to the point where
anyting above 50-60% is painful). You might want to play with your
contrast setting as well though as that will usually brighten things
up too, just make sure you don't set it so high that colour starts to
drop out.
