How old is your monitor?
I've noticed on the monitors over time the brightness degrades over time. I've also noticed the same thing happens to TVs
And I didnt realise just how dark my old monitor had gotten untill I got my new one
Plus monitors themselves are different. What you see on one monitor may be entirely different then you see on another.
In the Game when its night time it shouldnt be bright as day but not pitch black either.
Think Harvest moon.
Those few days every fall when the moon is so big and bright you can actualy read by its light.
In the game it should be light enough to see yet dark enough to that the effects of night make ya go "wow cool"
