How can I darken the print on my screen?

Hi,

I run Win 7 64bit on a computer with performance rating of 7.3.

The print which appears on my screen (a top spec Sony Monitor) is coloured light grey, and difficult to read, especially against the bright screen background. 

Will you please tell me how to get the print to be fully black.

I have tried the high contrast themes, but occassionally, when entering data the yellow lettering disappears into the background, and I cannot tell what i am doing.

Many thanks

Roy Mayo.

    John - How can I find your reply to my question about making the lettering darker on the screen?  As you can tell, I'm a novice at this.

    "How can I accomplish making the data on my computer screen darker?  Not bigger, not brighter, DARKER.  I keep getting ridiculous answers from Microsoft "experts." "

    I was not helped by any of the suggestions as apparently neither were you.  If you are fortunate enough to get some help please share it with me.  I have an new HP laptop running Windows 10 Home 64 bit OS x64 processor.  Besides I don't think we are getting responses from MS experts. 

    I have a vision problem that will not get better and I am having problems reading the print on some websites.  It looks like charcoal writing not regular print.  I have only begun to experience this so I am thinking it is the new computer settings.  I do not want or need to print anything!!
