black not being "black"

Has anyone else noticed that the black on the monitors isnt really "black"
If i have a black backround its really really bright, and when im playing games that don't support the widescreen, and the black bars are on the side, it seems really bright and not a dark black.

and when i went to best buy and other computer stores and looked at the monitors, and when in widescreen the black is actually a dark black

maybe im the only one who's noticed this lol but yeah, any way to make the black darker? ive been monkeying around with the brightness/contrast but that doesnt seem to be doing anything at all and i dont know what else to do

    Depends on the monitor... most monitors have backlight bleeding... the 2407WFP is pretty minimal. So are the apple monitors and the gateway widescreens...

    My first guess was brightness in the monitor OSD, in video card settings and in the game, all 3.
    I can usually adjust my way out of that problem.
    Avoid Gateway, read to many bad things.

    Well with my 244t I don't have the slightest backlight bleed & black are really black in any situation. This sounds like chimei panels but they are dirt cheap. Not for me though.
