There are some flare along the edges of the tree (right side). You need a
monitor that can see the dark values (my monitor cannot resolve all, only
marginally resolved to 3):

BTW, I found removing the external calibration (Spyder 2 pro) my monitor
gamma values on different colors are more accurate:

Together with the ability to resolve most of the white values then your
monitor should be very good (my monitor can resolve to 253 only).
