display contrast problem with light grey and white appearing the same

Using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a 27" iMac (2013).


Low contrast shading is not visible under normal usage. Light grey and white are shown as the same color (white). If I producing a shading effect (i.e, by dragging another window's shadow or doing a screen capture), the previously invisible light grey is visible.


It's easier to see on video, so I uploaded one...

This happens accross all applications, most noticably the finder, which is missing the normal horizontal grey bars for every other row.


This happens on one user account, but not others. I have the same issue on my MacBook Air (2011) with the same user account.


Another strange thing is that I only see this problem on the built-in display. If I hook up an external monitor, things look fine on all accounts. Even if I drag a window halfway between the built-in display and the external monitor, the problem only show (or doesn't show) on the built-in display.


Any ideas what might cause this? Why only on one user? Why only on the built-in monitor.


Here's a list of all the processes running when I quit everything I can other than a terminal window on the affected account.
