It's a universal problem for anyone producing stuff to be viewed on monitors (web designeds, photographers, etc). No two monitors are the same, no two people adjust the brightness and contrast in the same way, so no two people will see the same thing

Photo sites tend to post reference images/grey scales in their galleries to get people to adjust their settings close to an accepted standard, but there is a massive industry dedicated to trying to solve this problem. At least modern LCDs tend to have an sRGB setting which is an attempt to display colours and brightness to a universal standard.

..but there's nothing forcing people to use that setting
