Using SMTPE bars and PLUGE to adjust MBP Retina display

Using SMTPE bars and PLUGE to adjust MBP Retina display was created by MattDavis
So I've got my new 15" MacBook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) 2.8 GHz BTO (finally) all set up and humming along sweetly. Now I need to tune it to the needs of editing on location when I can't have my Vutrix monitor. The Retina display seems to have deep, deep blacks.
So deep, in fact, that when I display SMPTE Bars with PLUGE, I can't see the little 7.5 IRE bar under the red stripe.
Using the 'Advanced' mode of the Displays setup, I can monkey around with some settings, but it all feels a bit 'broad brush' and not particularly trustworthy.
Has anyone got their MBP Retina display to pass the PLUGE test? Is there a better way to a reasonable setting other than trying to eyeball the display to a Grade 2 monitor using the 'Advanced' settings? LOL
