You need to enable gamma correction for your PC.  By default PC settings
display extremely bright images on screen.  This is the case for all
programs, not just POV-Ray.  You need to understand that the display gamma
setting is exactly there for this purpose, and setting it to the same value
on two systems with a different display gamma cannot possibly work.  You
need to set it to the true gamma of each system, not the same on both!

There is a lengthy section in the manual about setting the display gamma,
see section "5.2.2.2.2 Setting your Display Gamma".
