This might be interesting. Basically, if you calibrate your monitor, when a game launches in full-screen, it discards your calibration and just uses defaults, which will probably result in your display looking a bit crappy.
This little hack works to keep your calibration settings active even when playing full-screen games. It's possible it could be seen as a hack by BattleEye though, so you should probably avoid using it for MP for now. You could just run ArmA in Windowed mode instead of using this. Maybe this is why we find things look much better if we use SweetFX but I don't think that can get us back to a properly calibrated image, so it's probably best to start from a calibrated position if possible and then use SweetFX to tweak further if needed.

There's a lot of ICC calibration files for various monitors here, so you might find one that works for your monitor, although you have to bear in mind that no monitor panel is completely identical to another, so it's unlikely to be as perfect as if you were to calibrate your monitor yourself but if you don't have access to a colorimeter to do this, it's a pretty good second-best. I downloaded a few for my monitor and some look completely wrong on my screen, whilst others look pretty good, so if there's a selection available for your screen, try them all and see which looks right: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm
You can get the Brightness and Contrast calibrated pretty well just using your monitor's controls and the test images here http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/con...ontent.htm
I tend to find I need to tweak the gamma up a couple of notches, which can be done for AMD in CCC under Desktop Management, Desktop Colour and I'm sure there's a similar setting for Nvidia.
