MAME's display is correct with the correct monitor; back in the early 2000s when everyone used CRT monitors on their PCs there was no question that the image could be as bright as a cabinet. Similarly, people today building MAME cabinets with 15 kHz arcade CRTs get that same bright, vivid image.
By contrast, LCDs have a much narrower range of possible brightness (black areas on modern LCD TVs and computer monitors typically are actually dark grey at best, and full-on white isn't as intense as even a mediocre CRT). Plasma doesn't have that problem, but it's basically dead now. OLED may be at least a partial solution (the OLED screen on the PS Vita is definitely very vivid), but AFAIK nobody's making a desktop computer monitor with that tech yet.
