Most LCD displays are very bright when used at the default out-of-the-box settings. With modern LCD displays, that isn't necessarily the case though - color is often close to correct in hue, but luminance, or brightness, is a common issue. Back when CRT displays were the common screen type, color could be wildly different and it was usually pretty easy to detect when the display was at fault. In almost all cases, it's a lack of having a calibrated display that is causing the issues.
The image is too dark, skin tones are too red, any number of problems. When it's all done, the image is posted online or printed and suddenly it looks like you did all the image correction in the dark. Yes, you can tweak the image until the sky is that perfect hue of blue, or the skin tones have just the right amount of warmth and vibrancy. One of the most overlooked elements to creating a quality digital image is color accuracy.
