I only mentioned specifics because you were asking for comments on how your shots appear and the tonal values provide objective information. Simply put dark tones at that level would be rendered as plain black without any detail, (Zone O in Ansell Speak) and would print that way too. That is exactly what I would expect if you consciously made the shot significantly darker and higher contrast for the web version. Not a comment on what you intended, just trying to be helpful for your monitor rendering comparisons.
