Contrast on Radeon 9700 & Samsung 213T

Does anyone know how to change the contrast on a Samsung 213T monitor?
When using the digital connection most of the adjustments are disabled
on the front of the monitor. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro card but I
cant find anyway to set the contrast on that either, just color &
brightness.

What is the best way to calibrate a monitor so that digital images will
come out the way they are supposed to? Any calibration I have seen
starts out telling me to adjust the contrast first, so I don't get far.
Is there a calibration program that can adjust all of this stuff within
the program its self without having to use the monitor buttons (that are
disabled)?

Thanks!

Download the drivers for the monitor which should contain the correct
colour profile for a start.

The problem is though, its a subjective thing and you can try forever
to get it perfect.

Normality will be restored once we work out what normality actually is.

Thanks for your input, but I dont think its a subjective thing at all, there
are ways to calibrate colors properly.

By subjective, I mean what looks right to you won;t to someone else.
