Depending on what kind of videocard you have (hint, hint) you can adjust the video card's gamma to compensate for the monitor's darkness. Also, contrast doesn't neccesarily make things brighter or darker. All it does in increase the difference between the lightest shade and the darkest shade. I would leave that slider in the middle. If your monitor has gamma adjustment, I would recommend pumping that up too.
For ATI cards, right-click on the desktop and select Properties, click Settings tab, Advanced button, Color tab, and adjust the Desktop Brightness slider. Game gamma also needs to be adjusted separately. Don't overdo that setting.
