Got my 27" iMac a few days ago (2010, 2,93 GHz, 8GB, 256GB SSD)
Everything looks excellent except for the black level when brightness is turned up, especially above 7. The black looks ok below 7 but then there's the poor white level.
When turned up to max (16), the black looks absolutely awful in a dark room, it's dark gray rather than black.
So I'm wondering what people mean is the best brightness setting for the best possible black AND white?
I've experimented the past few hours with movies and the like and my conclusion is:
Bright room
General use: 7-8
Movie: 8 (max 10)
Dark room
General use: 6
Movie: 4-6
