Firstly, thanks to Roger and Mark for emailing me some tips so quickly.

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.
I followed these instructions as best as I could, i.e. for
- Lightest black measurement Contrast 100% & Brightness 100%
- Darkest Black measurement Contrast to 100%, brightness down to 30%
and from there I stepped up in 10% increments right up to 100%. I
also tried with a starting contrast of 60% and then changing the
brightness incrementally to see if that would make any difference
without success. Each time I would get the message that the black
was too low and out of range of the colorimeter - even at 100% for
both brightness and contrast.
Incidentally I tried testing my own cheap monitor at home and the
software and colorimeter took me through the steps without a hitch.
This beautiful high-end LaCie monitor has more settings than I know
what to do with.
Any more advice folks? For your info the monitor is set at the moment on:
IN OSD order
Brightness 100%
Contrast 100
Color Mode 2
R = 77, G = 67, B, 59 6500K
Fine Picture mode - normal
Thanks
