  That is odd. It looks fine for me. Are you running a really old display?

    I didn’t have any problem with the guy in the first picture either, but I would be willing to bet that many of us are viewing this thread using very different display brightness/contrast settings.

    I’m currently looking at it on a laptop. My laptop has no light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment, and I use the laptop in a wide range of environments, so I need to use brightnessctl on Linux to fiddle the brightness, usually between about 10% and 60%.

    My desktop’s monitor doesn’t have a light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment either.

    There’s probably some way to go get a brightness sensor and a daemon to auto-fiddle the thing on the desktop — webcams, which often have automatic brightness adjustment themselves, aren’t great for this.
