To close to tell on a 19" Sony Trnitron, looks more the same, than one or the other.

I assume they are thru DVI and what video card you using?

Which is which? :)

If they are screen captures, you have proved that banding can be created by Photoshop and/or your graphics card.

Yes Photoshop can be quite inaccurate, due to automatic dithering and/or smoothing (especially layer effects). Crusty old Paint Shop Pro 5's Flood Fill Linear Gradient has no such problems just make sure you use a multiple of 256 for the height of the file ie. 256, 512, 768 etc. Or use these gif's that I made: White to Black or Black to White.

Don't use the windows picture and fax viewer to view as that does either bilinear or bicubic interpolation on all images. Use either Photoshop 400% zoom (since the gradient wasn't created in Photoshop)or even (god forbid) MS Paint.

Graphics card doesn't usually cause banding (well not in 2D mode anyway!)

I still have a 2407WFP A00(!) so everything is bandtastic to me! (visually that is)

You've got to be kidding me, TAKING A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR SCREEN DOES NOT LET US SEE BANDING. The banding is inherent to your display, not the data that is being sent to it.

DOH! :) That means I have banding on my 19" Sony Trinitron:)

No, you have it the exact opposite. Unless you take a picture of your screen (with a digital camera/equivalent), we can't see if you have banding. I don't know what the you were on when you posted that screenshot.
