    I noticed on my new IPS screen that I could not see the details in the shadows.
    How did I know that there were details? Easy, I visited this particular GTA V page minutes before with another TN screen laptop.
    Adjustments with the Intel graphics software did not bring out any more details.
    Then I found some help here.

    Still not good. Then it hit me, years ago I used the picture Battlestar Galactica Last Supper to calibrate my projectors.
    There are some good fine details, lots of wrong and right skin tones and good shaddow detail.

    Now back to my IPS screen, the pants of  Starbuck were nearly pure dark with very little detail (picture1).

    open the picture ( I use the same ultra fast viewer since last millenium: ACDSEE 2.x before win 8 and 3.1 since then)
    Zoom original size and go to the bottom and check Starbucks pants, or use the cropped version below
    in the windows search box search and find color management
    go Advanced
    go Calibrate display
    go to Adjust Gamma
    leave full screen
    now move the slider up and down and notice how the shadow details apear and disappear
    find the right position for your screen, just so you see all the details good without making it too bright.
    For the best skin tone use Tighs bold head
    finish adjustment and compare before with after

    you are all set

    Great nice tip, thanks for the post. But why Battlestar Galactica? 😀

    Chris, it has very good shadow details if you look on the histogram, but of course you can use any pic you want, I stumbled on it by accident and I like the interpretation of the theme.
    A picture what also works is the Garden of earthly delights (the dark right side)
