   While I agree totally with clipka remarks, I think perhaps your CRT 
is also to blame here... your issues remember me of my problems many 
years ago with a faulty Samsung monitor. I suspect this is why you see 
as "washed out" what others see as "correct", and also why others see as 
"too dark" what you see as "correct".

   Look for example at this old image of mine, which I created while 
using the flawed monitor:

   Back then it looked fine to me: I was even able to see the plant on 
the corner! Now, with a properly calibrated monitor, I can barely see 
anything else than the sunlit parts and a little radiosity near them. 
How do you see it? ...do you see the plant on the corner?
