brightness and contrast (tone)
Adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor so that you can see each step from pure black to pure white with breaks. There are 17 steps in this step wedge.
Pay more attention to the black steps. The darkest step should be as dark as you can make it while still being able to distinguish it from the next lighter step.

color depth (bit depth)
You should see smooth RGB spectrums without any extreme breaks or banding.
If you see any breaks or banding, you are not viewing with the maximum color available.
If you have enough video memory, set your screen's color palette to 24 bit color (Windows) - Millions of colors (Macintosh).
