Color temperature and screen brightness.

I got 2 new screen some time ago, and i have been using both of them with the color temperature set to ''cool'', just because i liked how things looked, but i made some tests today and i discovered that the color yellow only exists in context when using the ''cool'' preset, so i guess that the recommended mode should be as neutral as possible? 

Also what you guys think about brightness, should i use max brightness?.

    The usual standards for display calibration are:
    colour temperature = 6500K
    gamma = 2.2
    brightness = 100-150Cd/m²

    Depending on your display you use a standard or custom color preset and calibrate it using an external calibration device (X-Rite, Spyder etc.).
    You cannot really calibrate by eye, but some displays have a very good calibration out of the box.

    Try this webside http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ if you don't have access to any calibration device, this should help a bit at least. Most displays have a too high brightness, but really depends on the model, e.g. mine is currently set to 32% to achieve 140Cd/m².
