What exactly is gamma control on an LCD TV?

Dan asked:

I have a pretty sound knowledge of LCD TVs, etc, but I still don’t know what gamma control is. I have it on my LCD in the picture settings menu. It has a low, medium and high setting. The picture appears to be “lighter” when it is set to low. I have it on medium, which I think looks best, as it is just the right balance. I still don’t know what it’s purpose is, though.
