I look forward to responses since I often have trouble interpreting the
output of dispcal.

But certain things seem very strange on their face.  Perhaps I am
misinterpreting something, but wouldn't an initial native brightness of
about  3.1 cd/m^2 would mean the screen looked pitched black?  Also, if
`power' means the output as a power of the input, then a power of over
3000 would be preposterous.

As I said, the experts may be able to tell you what you did wrong, but
the readings seem to my minimally educated eye as being way out of any
plausible range.
