Screenshot with a gamma adjustment of 3.0 to simulate what a crappy monitor
would look like for those who don't have one

So google suggests monitors in the real world have gamma settings that can vary
anywhere between 1.8 to 3.0 (Correct value being about 2.2) [Can anyone
actually verify that? I could only find really sketchy old looking sources].

So I removed my custom css making everything black (I like being able to easily
read the site :P), took a screenshot, and adjusted that gamma to 3.0 to see
what people with bad monitors would see. I adjusted by using convert
screenie.png -gamma .454545 tmp.png; convert tmp.png -gamma 3.0
Screenshot-gamma3.png

See attached screenshot which is quite light.


[FWIW, really not an expert on visual perception, colour, physics, monitors,
gamma, etc. So If I made any mistaken assumptions about how gamma correction
works, please let me know].
