I just tweaked my monitor settings using a couple of the websites with
"free" setup images and this has certainly improved my views of photos
from a wide variety of sources. However I'm now finding that text in
Thunderbird, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. is a bit pale and lacking in
contrast.


Your Mac's built-in calibration utility System Preferences Displays
will do an excellent job of calibrating your display.


Why did you assume “newshound” was using a Mac?
That is a pretty wild guess considering he is using aWindows NT edition of
Thunderbird.

I do *sometimes* use this monitor with a Mac, when using Affinity, so I
will try that next time. But I am not a heavy post-processor, for my
modest needs JPEGs straightened and cropped in Picassa, with perhaps a
touch of fill light or colour correction is enough, 99% of the time.
