That would be the Spyder1; I wouldn't recommend that (or any product from that era) for a new display. You will find that Spyder3Elite will walk you through the process of determining your ambient light level, and recommending a display brightness (white luminance actually) that is appropriate to that; if your space is dim, your backlight control may barely have enough range to dim the display enough to balance.
