Calibrating monitor

Hi all,
I just got a new 17" flat panel computer monitor (Cornea 1704). I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to calibrate it...every time I get one setting where I want it, it throws off one of the other setrtings. Now, I'm getting a headache from looking at a screen that's so messed up. Does anyone have one of these? The available settings range from 1-100, and are as follows:

--brightness
--contrast
---color, which contains
--R
--G
--B

Thanks in advance, as always, for your help.

Actually, the color presets aren't labeled, except as "preset 1" and "preset 2". I'm not sure if those are 5000 and 6500, or what. The manual gave me no indication. In any case, I just have these 0-100 ratings for the categories I listed above. I cranked up the contrast all the way and lowered brightness considerably...that seems to be the opposite of TV calibration, where contrast is often quite low. I'll see if I can get a hold of one of the disks Sean recomended. Thanks, guys.
