On the down side, the darker levels of black all appear the same. If you use the color slider in photoshop, It's not till you get to about 10 that you BEGIN to start seeing a difference. I posted in the finished artwork section a few of my paintings this morning and you'll see the one of Castiel (Angel from Supernatural) his pants were supposed to be nearly black but the value on them is much lighter as you can see.
Hi Matt, do you have an app for adjusting the graphics settings on your computer, (like the nvidia support software or AGV etc)? , I have a similar issue with my laptop screen, and i've had to tweak its settings to get a more "correct" value range displayed, and similarly with my second monitor i use, as it naturally has a warmer tone and higher contrast than i'd prefer. (no worries if you've already tried this) I found trying to compare the image my laptop is puting out, with an iphone or smart phone image of the same painting helped me calibrate my monitors better...
