Yeah, that's what I generally aim for, is there a setting to specify
black in cd/m^2 or percentage though? There's -b for brightness so if
that's specified it should just be 1% of that yeah? So going below
that level would increase the contrast of the display but you'd make
the choice for yourself rather than the software setting it as a
target?

It's generally not much, but always downwards. I haven't done heaps of
iterations though to see if it finds a level it likes, I just do 2 or
3 runs and move on to the next steps in dispcal.
