Hard to say from the photo. The one on the right is certainly much brighter.

I have a similar setup - my left monitor is a Dell Ultrasharp and my right monitor is a BenQ ZowieXL.

The BenQ is RIDICULOUSLY bright out of the box and I had to drastically reduce the brightness in order to use it for regular day to day computing. The game presets look amazing while running a game but are terrible for looking at literally anything else, and even the standard setting is blindingly bright by default.

I did some tweaking and they still aren't quite the same, but it's fine for me. They're close enough.

See the nice, dark blue on the left? The right doesn't display that at all. It's like the right one has some BRIGHT backlight or something. Everything looks more washed out. I need to get a new one and the better looking one is DVI only. My graphics card has HDMI and Display Port. (I think they're both about $100., but the better, left one was used.). So ideally I guess I want a similar panel, but Display Port. So, at some point I'll scour eBay.
