NO !!! Bad !!! If you have an image up with black areas that are grey
you have your brightness and contrast over saturated. Turn them down
until the monitor is easy to view and black areas are truly black.

***Your monitor is not a light bulb and should not be viewed like it is.

For a rather comprehensive source of information on POV-Ray and monitor
gamma visit this web site http://www.dlugosz.com/POV/Gamma/index.html
