Monitor calibration is always a great idea, however you have a more dependable indicator on the camera: the image histogram. Take a shot with no exposure compensation. Use a scene that has a range of tones from dark to light but is not dominated by either the dark or light tones. Look at the histogram; it should take up most of the width of the histogram window, but not be pushed against either end. If there is nothing in the rightmost half of the histogram, the image is noticeably underexposed.
