When I go to those websites with black screens it drives me bonkers. Maybe I should got get my eyes checked...

might be the color palette used for the content on the pages because with a black screen there is less light hitting your eyes. That is actually the attraction of the "night mode" in the reading apps on the various handheld LCD devices.
Something else just came to mind, when you hit a site with a black background you might need to turn down the brightness of the screen. I think many of us might actually turn up the screen brightness (which in an LCD is simply cranking up the backlight) in an attempt to bring out the colors. What really might need done is a proper screen calibration if you haven't tried that route yet. Just google "LCD screen calibration" you can buy or even rent (I send folks to
http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/cano...ion/colormunki where you can rent a top of the line screen calibration tool for a few days for around $60 including shipping for a few days) but you can also learn to use whatever calibration tools that came installed on your computer to get a decent adjustment that can make a huge difference. LCD displays are usually very poorly calibrated from the factory which has to contribute to difficulties people have with them.
Still if you grew up on CRT's then LCD's are a walk in the park. My first computer used a 9" CRT with green text which I much preferred to the amber displays. So further evidence each person is different.
