Graphics look strange to me.

My understanding of gamma as it relates to computer displays is similar to photography, in that it is a measure of "contrast", but as it relates to "color intensity". It can reduce the number of colors used when turned down, and likewise when turned up. Basically a matter of preference, but doing the extremes will "blend" more colors that are similar together. Greys turn to black, light colors toward white, etc... I think...

Official definition;

"Gamma changes the difference between dark and light areas. Increasing Gamma makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter. It's more akin to contrast than anything.

Brightness decreases the range of lightness without changing the starting dark point."

Main purpose of a gamma slider in video games is to compensate for display differences, video cards, monitors, lighting in the room the computer is in, all effect how bright or dim the display appears.
