A print cannot match the brightness of a modern monitor. A "properly calibrated" monitor would reduce that brightness if its purpose was to match a print, but that is not the purpose of modern monitors.
I personally toggle between my "printing" profile and my "Netflix" (OEM default) profile by right clicking on my Desktop and pulling up my Nvidia control panel.
For the B&W printing profile, I made it manually by matching the monitor to a test print, lighted as it would be in the display environment. I used a test print that included tough to match values as well as a 21-step test strip. The test print was printed with a recently made (via QTR's Create ICC-RGB) ICC, with the image file in Gray Gamma 2.2 workspace, which is what I edit in.
It works very well.
Let me add a few comments that go against the usual assumptions. For the most "pop" in shows where I'm competing side-by-side with bright color prints, my B&W dyes on metallic paper are very successful. They are the only B&W medium I've found that gives me a shot at outselling the color painters. However, sitting in my office next to me is one of those dye prints with a matte carbon print next to it. The matte carbon print is clearly better, has brighter whites and deeper blacks, with much more depth. How can this be? It's all about reflections and lighting. Which media will look better depends on the display and viewing circumstances. On the wall and under glass/acrylic in your real world viewing environment, use a spot meter to measure 100% black blocks. You might be surprised to see the matte dmax exceeds the glossy dmax. Reflections kill our dynamic range, and that's all we B&W guys have. With a glossy snapshot, we instinctively move it around to avoid the reflections. With a print on the wall, it's not so simple. Most of us do not have ideal gallery lighting in our home and offices.
My next move is going to be to test Tru Vue Museum glass (optically coated anti-reflective glass) with the carbon pigment, matte prints. In my gallery the pastel artists who have gone to this display style are doing very well with it.
