  I think that your *monitor* gamma and your *graphics card* gamma are
two different things. The graphics card gamma probably tells how the card
would change the colors (if it was different from 1.0), but doesn't affect
the gamma of your monitor.

  You can test what the proper gamma for your system is by showing a
0.5 gray square (which has been rendered with POV-Ray 3.7) side-by-side
with a square which has horizontal lines alternating between pure black
and pure white. If they look about the same, then the gamma setting in
POV-Ray is correct. You should probably start with a gamma of 2.2.
