Sounds like the brightness/contrast/gamma is way off...

This is more because of the different video cards in the two machines, not the 
OS. Probably a good idea to calibrate the monitor anytime you move it anyway, 
especially between machines - so make sure your black level and white level 
is correct, and your color temp is right for your room.
