None of the letters are visible. They all look like black squares.

You need to increase the Brightness to around a value of 40 to 60 to make
Monaco happy (same with lots of others). Contrast controls the global
luminance of the monitor, so a 100% value is OK as long as you don't feel
dazzled by your screen and Monaco is not going to complain about that. But
the black point (Brightness) is another story. Restart the procedure but
this time set your Brightness down to 30% to begin with and increase it
until Monaco is happy.
