You may also be able to adjust brightness and contrast with the software side of the drivers, have you gone into your display properties and adjusted those?

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Did you do anything that you remember just before this started happening? Do you remember installing new software (possibly new video card drivers) around the same time?

Is it a monitor with different modes? have u accidently activated one?

My Mitsubishis Diamond pro 930sb I run quite dark but when playing games I activate Super Bright mode that enhances everything.

Also check the gamma setting on your graphics properties and see if thats been turned down at all,
