Is there any utility software on your system for the vid card and/or monitor? Some of those utilities offer enhanced control of your contrast, brightness, color balance, etc.

It could be in the display settings where you can set the gamma corrections. (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display). Some have it Settings tab within Display, you may need to fiddle around to look for it.

Yea I had the same problem for the longest time. The only thing that I was able to figure out was changeing the gamma output for my monitor. You might be able (I don't know if it is with certain monitors or not) to do this by going to the "display properties" window(Right Click on desktop, then properties). Then going to the settings tab, and clicking Advanced. Go to the Color tab and then change the "target gamma."
Hopefully that is helpful and works out for you. There might be other ways but that is what I found.
