Most use the gamma excuse but I personaly think most computer users
generaly have their brightness and contrast controls turned up too
high. To compensate for this they use lower ambient and diffuse
settings than would those who have their monitor controls set properly.

  A good example of this can also be seen in the way people adjust
the controls on their TV's. I cannot even begin to remember the
number of friends houses I have visited where they have the color
adjustments over driven and the brightness and contrast controls
set way to high for comfortable viewing levels. People in the
TV and monitor repair business often complain of the same kind
of consumer abuse and would actually prefer that there were no
user settable controls on these types of equipment. If they can
be abused they will be 9 out of 5 times by people that just don't
know what they are doing.
