Lamp Light

I'm just now becoming aware that pictures look different on different screens (yeah, I'm a slow learner). On my laptop screen, this looks too dark, but when connected and displayed on my desk monitor, it looks brighter and just what I wanted (the difference is whether you can make out the entire elliptical top of the lamp glass when the photo is viewed full-size on black, or whether the left-hand side is completely lost in shadow). Now it is driving me crazy that what people see on their screen when they look at one of my photos may not be the image I see, which in some cases has been finely tuned to have exactly the brightness or tones I wanted. Surely, more experienced photographers must have a way to address this discrepancy... or is this why artists drink so much?
