The Philips 200W6CS is a fine screen, I'm still partial to CRTs though, I feel they are still a better value. I use a Colorvision Spyder to profile my screen, the very first step is to set brightness and contrast. Having this changed will most likely make it impossible to properly profile the screen to match print output. Have you tried turning on a dim light near the monitor to decrease the strain on your eyes? I have a small desk light that I turn towards the ceiling at night. If I don't my eyes are shot after about 1/2 hour of editing. Just be sure to profile using this setup (which I did) and you should be OK.
