It's amazing at what lengths people go with the theoretical arguments and personal conjecture.

Screens don't really have any black - the black you see is just a dark gray. The screens have limitations ...

Even if you'd have a very good screen, very few people go through the trouble of calibrating their monitors.

At the same time, no one can point to a scientific study of contrast choices over many types of screens and (mis)calibrations ...

PS. Screens are calibrated to ambient light - that compensates for the white being too white kind of problems.
