DrDamn they look different yes.
But unless your monitor is properly calibrated you literally can’t tell which is “correct”. Most people have terrible settings on their monitors and then just get used to it.
Seriously. I’ve had this conversation so many times over the last thirty years. While the top image in your post looks a little flat to me, the bottom image looks overly contrasty with an unacceptable loss of detail in the deepest shadows.
On a professionally (by me, I am a professional with decades of experience of this process) calibrated monitor using hundreds of pounds worth of calibration tools, which ensure that what I see on my monitor is industry standard reproducible and that what I see on screen is what I see in prints.
You’ve made an aesthetic choice with your screen settings that overrides the developer’s choices, the website designer’s choices and means that what you see is not what I or anyone else sees. They might be similar because everyone seems to just ratchet up the brightness and contrast but it won’t be the same.
This is why you have to be careful when you critique other people’s visual work online. Unless you’ve calibrated your screen you can’t tell if what you see is what the originator saw when they made the work.
