banding very noticeable in compressed media
the A02 still has heavy banding... very noticable on dark things.... try a compressed movie or avi like xvid divx and dark areas you will see it looking like a 16-bit colour rainbow effect when it should be pitch black... then you change the modes to gaming or multimedia and it looks worse but the darkness looks as it should (pitch black) instead of blocky and colourful when on multimedia mode.
basically the monitor cannot display compressed video or jpegs properly... thats where you notice MAJOR banding.

ok to update, i have tried this on my other 24inch dell 2407 and its much much better at displaying the media with way less blockiness and less banding seen. soon as i drag the player across to my 2nd 24" LCD its much much better, and both LCD have exact same configs i set them up .... except 1 tihng which is "offset 1" in the extra tweak menu.... it wont let you edit this? why? but i doubt this affects this problem. also its not overlay due to my different DVI ports as i have swapped ports with LCD's and still the same LCD's have same results. so def must be the LCD at fault - 1 of them does alot better job at displaying darker scenes, also has better colour slightly and black levels are different between the 2? im confused... both are A02 CHINA

To test for banding *caused by the monitor,* you need an uncompressed, losslessly compressed, or rendered source to display.
