How are some websites affecting my monitor brightness?

I never noticed this before I got an LCD monitor. Sometimes I'll go to a website and notice that the overall brightness of my browser window has increased noticeably. It affects all open browser windows. If I close all browser windows first then open a new one, it will be back to normal.

I have a feeling it might be related to Java since I have noticed it frequently happens if I visit a site with Java games, but it also happens other times when I don't think Java is involved.
 
Many monitors have adaptive contrast (it changes to suit the content). That makes stuff fade in and get darker. I thought Samsung's MagicTune software had something like tihs. I didn't think the 970P had it built-in but it's possible. That's all I can think of.

Unless it changes it automatically then it shouldn't change.
You sure it's just not your eyes?

I'm 100% positive. The difference is striking. For example, if I look at the Video forum, I see threads listed in alternating lighter and darker bands of gray. Once this brightness change (perhaps contrast change, not sure) happens, the lighter gray becomes practically white. It's much too bright to see comfortably. If I close all browser windows and reopen it, and all is well.
