Setting up a LCD monitor

[Turbo Dad]

Between gamma, brightness, contrast, colour temperature settings, I don't know where to start?
gfx card settings? Monitor settings?
I don't really print pictures, so don't need to calibrate to my printer.
Mainly web, email, office and gaming use.
Tried a few test pages i found, also adobbe gamma without much luck
Using a dvi connection so monitor options limited (thankfully)
Handy hints and tips?
