27in - 80% to 100% brightness? Your settings?

[jtap]

I find that I am more comfortable using the 27 in screen at 80% or even 100% brightness. The whites just seem much more..well white. Was just wondering what you have your settings at?

For some reason I remember my first 27in model to have a brighter screen(didn't have to turn it up as much), but maybe I am just remembering it wrong..hmmm. Or my retinas have already began to burn.

I use 5 pips for mine.

I have mine at about 50%.

I'm commenting on the 21.5 rather than the 27, but I usually keep it below 50%. I'll maximize the brightness when I am far from the screen watching a movie or TV show.

I have my 24"s brightness at ~40%. Brighter than that makes it harder to read text and also causes me headache.
