What effect? In the post you quoted, I was referring specifically to the 
»obvious remark« by Denis, which only holds for unsuitable monitor 
brightness settings – even if my monitor was capable of delivering a 
luminous intensity close to an »intensely luminous sky«, I doubt that I 
would ever run it at that setting (well, maybe if I was on a sandy beach 
on a bright summer day).
