what is going on??? uber brightness

[jewii]

im very confused. i don't know if it's my gpu driver settings, my monitor ro my eyes because something is not right... i think.

firstly i play BC 2, there is the notorious blidning effect on desert or whitepass maps. but wierdly enough i've never really noticed until now where my whole screen goes almost completely white thus being blind.

but now i play mirrors edge and it's just as blinding...

Monitor: T220
GPU: HD 5870, driver: 11.6

sent image to friends, all confirm it's too bright/flashy than it should be. this also concludes it's not my monitor or eyes. Huzzah for good health.

Jesus! I experienced the BC2 brightness issue first hand with a 5870 and really had to ramp the brightness down in the game to be able to see on the desert map your referring to. Really not sure what could be doing that in mirrors edge though as it just looks like pure brightness, rather than fog which ambient occlusion might trigger ect :S
