It is common to lose y/z separation in inexpensive monitors.

Adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor so that you can see each step separately. Typically this means first setting your brightness to minimum, then setting your contrast to maximum and then increasing brightness until you can see a difference in the first two darkest steps and the last two brightest steps. Brightness controls the monitor’s black level and contrast controls the monitor’s white levels.

Pay more attention to the black steps here (brightness). The darkest step should be as dark as you can make it while still being able to distinguish it from the next lighter step.

The background of this particular screen you are looking at is set to gray, so if you see any strong color tint to it, try adjusting your monitor's color balance.
