usually you have to make this option on your monitor.

just use the buttons on your monitor.

Yeah I did that but I think my monitor is a bit messed up. The whites are too bright and the darks are too dark. http://image.prntscr.com/image/a00e52a609ce42a7a353c40c154cd9cc.png Here's an example the URL bar is so bright for me but the forums website is really dark. I also have my contrast and brightness settings very low they're below 25

do you only have this problem in browser or in general?

i don't really know that much about such stuff, maybe updating your graphic card drivers helps. nvm you have already done that

Brighter whites and darker darks are a feature of some monitor types (can't remember the name right off. OLED?). They can adjust the brightness of each pixel rather than the have one brightness for the whole screen.

You could minimize the difference by adding a Chrome theme, making it so your URL area wasn't blazing white.

Yeah I have another monitor I'm gonna try today, I'm using a 21" TV monitor. I also couldn't find any brightness options within Display Settings

Yeah using a new monitor, their is much less contrast between darks and lights. The monitor was probably OLED as you said.

There's a piece of software called f.lux that you could use to turn the LED lights in your monitor to more of an orange color than blue. It helps decrease eye strain and lets you get tired, since the blue from a computer monitor will decrease the amount of melotonin (sleep chemical) in your brain. Hope it helps.

Downloaded it and trying it out, it seems pretty nice I just don't want it to change throughout the day. The whites and blacks still have too much difference in brightness though. I'm not getting blinded by the light as much at least.

You can set it to auto change throughout the day.

Try hooking your tower up to a tv or something, the brightness on my laptop was rlly high and all the settings were garbled(my parents stepped on it XD) I hooked it up to my tv(hdmi) and can just change the settings on that now.
