Thanks for the responses, I would be using custom mode so I can individually control RGB levels during calibration.
Can you recalibrate the Pre-Set Modes like SRGB and save for later recall?
It would be nice to be able to switch to a calibrated mode for sRGB then switch to another calibrated mode for aRGB.
The quote on this page had me confused: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&dl=false&l=en&s=gen&docid=AB0753BAC6EE49BCBDD75EFCA6D37675&doclang=en
I calibrate with a Spyder, and use DVi, and yes you can adjust contrast. You may have to go into user mode rather than video/game mode or whatever they use for presets.
you can only adjust RGB when using custom, and it is in wide color gamut mode, not really sure if you can turn it off, but sRGB produces pretty dull colors in comparison. by the way my Sony XBR LCD you can turn off wide gamut mode, so I am just guessing it is doing the same when using sRGB.
and do not worry about contrast, cause you can adjust it on DVI

you can adjust the contrast on the 2408wfp when using DVI.

"Contrast is grayed out on my Digital Flat Panel monitor when connected to the Digital Video Interface (DVI).When a Digital Flat Panel monitor is connected via the Digital Video Interface (DVI) connector, the contrast will be grayed out (unavailable). This is normal, and the flat panel is functioning as designed. While connected via the DVI, the contrast for the flat panel is controlled by the video card."
