To those that have windas running and want to dramatically increase the contrast on their FW900's i have discovered how to do it.
You need to edit a variable called C_MAX_B_MAX
I increased the value from 101 to 151 and i now have PLENTY of contrast.
There are some side effects to be aware of though. When you turn the contrast up high it will now cause a fair amount of blooming. Which isn't a problem while gaming or watching movies but it makes windows look like crap, so for general use you'll want to turn it way down.
Also right now when i turn my contrast above 80 i can see the edges of yellow/orange text/objects start to bleed red. So there is a point where too much is too much (which i have obviously gone past lol). You'll probably have to try several values in order to find the sweet spot. Just don't go any higher than i did.
