I am about to buy an HP w2207h monitor to hook up to my MacBook Pro via a straight DVI-HDMI cable (not an adapter).
Can anyone give me their brightness, contrast, color, etc. settings that seem to work well for maximum clarity and crispness in OS X? Also, any other settings that I should set via the OS X System Preferences panel as well?
Thanks.

This doesn't have anything to do with notebook hardware. You'll get more responses in Consumer Hardware.

The hardware forums are for specific questions and thoughts about that particular hardware. A monitor can be hooked up to any computer as a peripheral, so that goes into consumer hardware. No big deal.
As to your question, those settings are really going to be different for different people. Your best bet is to simply calibrate the monitor yourself in Displays preferences to choose the settings you like best. For more precise calibration, I'm sure others here can recommend professional calibration tools.

Sure. Please move this thread there. Sorry.
The problem with me calibrating is that I am a bit color blind, so I am not sure how that affects things.

I'm no expert, but generally speaking monitor settings can be pretty subjective, depending on the lighting at your place, how you perceive light/colour, the quality of your panel etc.
Each of these things will be different, so there probably isn't a best monitor profile/setting. Even within a particular monitor series, the displays may behave differently.
The main idea is that it's your monitor, in the sense that it's specific to your environment and circumstances, so just make sure it looks right to you.
So, as ibook_steve says, just calibrate your monitor within System Preferences till you're happy with it. If you're worried about skewing the settings horribly, you could also leave it alone (as most users do). The native profile shouldn't be nasty.
If you're doing photo work etc and need colour accuracy, you'll probably want calibration hardware etc.
