One of the important aspects in the digital darkroom workflow is to get the calibration of your LCD monitor correct. This will ensure that the colors in your photographs will look like the same when you print them. There are very accurate hardware calibration solutions available, but for hobbyists they are pretty expensive. Best bet is to use a software calibration utility. Simplest one is here. Adjust your monitor's brightness/contrast settings according to the instructions on the website. Make sure that you go into full screen mode before you start the calibration. Use the graphics card properties screen to adjust the brightness/contrast and color temperature to get the best settings.
Worked pretty decent for me.
