Dual Monitors help

The brightness shouldn't be different...

But

try pushing: Windows + P and select a mode

Lol I know how to do that, it's just really weird, when I only use my laptop screen, it's so bright it hurts, then when dual, my monitor looks great but laptop looks weird and if I set only monitor, it's bright too..
Ok I don't know what the hell, now the screen doesn't look "bright", it looks down right ugly, the colors are horrid, the contrast is high, I can't read anything that's not typed in black comfortably and it's... ugly.... I really don't know how to make my screen look like it should.

Edit: I wish it was as simple as taking a screenshot :|

Edit2: this has me frustrated, I'm going to bed now... for more reference, I don't see the grayed out arrow on chrome for next page, and on SP main forum I barely see the "no new posts" squares....
