What exactly are you asking? Are you wondering if your photos look good because of your computer? Do you mean they look better on your computer than other peoples'? Have you calibrated your monitor? If the photos look good to you and bad to everyone else, it's probably because your monitor isn't displaying colors and brightness properly.
