Does Mplayer have any colour settings that can be manipulated while video is playing?
The backlit TFT on the 770 has a completely different gamma curve compared to CRT. Dark areas of videos and pictures are always brighter, than on CRT due to the display technology.

Try the mplayer command-line options -vf eq or -vf eq2 and change contrast with 1&2, brightness with 3&4 keys.

On my 770 build of mplayer however, these only respond in the first frame of playback. I haven't been able to find a way to specify an equaliser filter setting from the command line.
