If you can see all the colors from A-Z, it means you'll see the pics better, else, get yourself a calibrator (Spider comes to mind) or try and adjust your screen to be able to see the different colors in the "bar" BELOW, or follow the prompts on the chart below the bar:
A grey ‘ramps’ test pattern – white to black on the top, and black to white below – is a good way of setting the contrast too. Make sure that you can see all the gradations between the different boxes.
You may also need to turn the contrast down a little if there’s a colour cast at high levels, until that disappears – fixing it completely is something that usually requires access to the service menus of the set, and a colorimeter, with associated software tools.
