It has always been up to the taste of the owner, but I have aligned many sets as per the ISF guide lines and here is a general rule to deliver the best picture (in my experience and to my trained eye).

Brightness (this is the adjustment of the dark area) should be in the middle.

Contrast (AKA picture) should be in the 60%-80%. This is the setting to adjust the bright areas of the picture.

Color control should be brought down to the 40% and the tint is centered. 

Sharpness should be brought way down to 25% to eliminate dark edges around objects.

There is a setting for the back-light level and this should be set according to the room lighting. This is where you would set up so you can see the slight differences in the dark areas.

There are many other settings such as gamma, motion enhancement, etc should be st to the center settings.

I highly recommend purchasing a DVD with test patterns so you can fine tune the settings. and a good one is called "Video Essentials". It will walk you through each setting.
