Most Lcd monitors have this effect, but as Skybird says, usually a minor one.

So if the effect is very marked on your monitor something might need to change with how you are postioned in relation to the screen. Which viewing angle do you get when the monitor is put in place on your desk? It sounds like you could benefit from getting your viewpoint higher or more straight ahead, that is avoid looking at the monitor from a slightly low position, if you do so it will turn more dark at the top as you describe. Can you adjust the stand up and down?

Also, is the 1680x1050 really the native resolution for that 24" monitor? If you need bigger text etc to see it clearly, it might be better to change how big text fonts and icons you use in windows, rather than lowering the resolution to a non native one.
