Dude, these are JPEG compression artifacts, not banding
Here's an example of a Steam discussions forums background:

The JPEG artifacts are quite visible.

It's the DOTA 2 character select screen
EDIT:
I know some of it is jpeg artifacting, but if that was the only issue then we would all have that same picture

Uh, no. It's a background image from the Steam forums. I'm talking to the OP, btw.1112e wrote:It's the DOTA 2 character select screen

Re: Some questions about gradient on TN panels
1112e, it looks like you could use some monitor calibration. Notice how the bar doesn't blend fully to black in your picture?

Try: Gamma 4 or 5 and Contrast 45. Shut off Black eQualizer (Use the Standard Mode preset to do that).

That's a relief, thank you.RealNC wrote:Dude, these are JPEG compression artifacts, not banding

Re: Some questions about gradient on TN panels
1112e:
Are you talking about those strange bars in your picture that almost look like a different color than the rest of the bars, looking like a very faint pinkish and greenish type tone?
?
I definitely do NOT get that on mine...and I even tried black equalizer at 20 with contrast 100.
Then I expanded the test image to 400% and I can see distinct very thin vertical rectangles that do NOT have strange or corrupted colors, but seem like individual gradient changes, which looks completely natural, basically, borders, which are not a strange color.
I then switched to 16 bit color (back to 100%) and I can clearly see not only individual thin rectangles (which were literally completely invisible in 32 bit) but also VERY distinct, repeating patterns of faint pink/green which remains mostly even in intensity and repeat throughout both gradient bars, which are 100% NOT visible in any shape or form in 32 bit.
Are you running 18 bit or 24 bit color or something? (although I read somewhere that 32 bit is basically the same as 24 bit anyway)...

I'm running 32 bit color.
I don't see other colors really, i just see banding/lack of smoothness in the gradient.

Re: Some questions about gradient on TN panels
Ok after seeing that video driver control panel and checking back on page 1 again, and realizing that you don't have a Geforce or Radeon card, I blame the laptop.
In fact I fully blame the laptop and that intel HD 3000 graphics.
Wait for your desktop.
guarantee you it will be fixed.
