Washed-out colours/bad lighting?

[Caliburn]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I probably should have mentioned I'm on a PC. I'm using a Dell XPS 15 and I'm just using the laptop monitor, no external display.

I adjusted brightness, contrast and gamma in my NVIDIA settings but I can only alter them to a point or everything else not FFXIV becomes an eyesore. Honestly, by what others are saying here I don't think it's a problem with my display, although adjusting my settings does help. It seems more to do with the game itself. FFXI didn't have this problem, but then FFXI doesn't have such sophisticated lighting/graphics. But at least I can see everything properly once night falls.

I agree with the "15 mins of nice shiny light" comment above. I swear I've seen more dawn, dusk and night than actual daylight.
