There should be an ideal combination between brightness and contrast.Try to adjust both so that you will get a better effect.
'Contrast' property varies in different monitor or brands.Some are high-contrast monitors,some are less.

I shall suggest you to use monitor Gamma Control Panel for adjustment.

I just bought a new monitor (17"; I had a 15" - hard on the eyes!). Short of trying to use the monitor adjustments (which are NOT easy to use and I'm trying to contact the company once the holiday is over) is there any other way to give more contrast? I'm typing a lot of names and addresses onto white background, and I really need the names to be darker.
