Great advice Lou. Thanks for putting it in terms a novice can comprehend. I really don't have any lights in my room that are very bright when i'm on the computer, so hopefully the "type" of light won't be much of an influence in my perception of what i'm seeing on my monitor screen.

Like most people, I need to work in both web and print, so I guess it would be best for me to create 2 separate profiles (one with the brighter settings for web, and one with the darker settings for print)? I've read that switching from one profile to another is not wise, due to the monitors slowness in adapting to these changes. Maybe I read false info, i don't know.

I'm not sure if that ColorEyes calibration software allows someone to manually lift or lower specific color levels, but I will keep that in mind. I have noticed that my cmyk values showing on my monitor are not quite matching my pantone bridge guide (new). I calibrated with the ColorEyes software and used the Eye-One Display 2. I guess I will keep trying new settings. Wish I never got this imac for graphic design use :( Thanks again, I will try the recommended settings that you and others have given.
