A computer monitor, while good for computer type displays, is far from the
ideal display device for movies. Some DVD player utilities feature the
ability to change the gamma profile to render movies better, but you usually
have to rely on the graphic card drivers should they support such changes.

Even dedicated LCD or Plasma TVs often feature the ability to change the
gamma profile as what is best for video sourced material is rarely right for
film sourced material, though many users probably don't know it's there, let
alone use it.
