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?

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,
AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB
MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset
1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2
XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200
80gig HDD
