First, adjust screen contrast to maximum, then
reduce it until you see a separation between the white (farthest left) and
the light gray blocks next to it.

Then, adjust the brightness until you see a
separation between the black and dark gray blocks on the far right. The
black block (farthest right) should be as black as possible.

Finally, look for any color cast in the white
and gray tones -- they should appear neutral in color. Monitors tend to have
a magenta cast to them until they have warmed up for about 30 minutes, so if
the bar looks pinkish to you, wait a bit if you want to see colors more
accurately.
