thanks...did it. but i still don't know what i am looking for. i see very faint lines in the gradient test. is that bad banding? or is some expected? but most importantly, is that what i am looking for?
You are just a "Macrumors newbie" looking for a problem.
Pretty much most machines are affected, if you are not troubled by it you should just let it be. If you don't even know what to look for why fuss over it?
Are "Macrumors newbies" not allowed to know about color banding? it's just a simple question and i don't see why newbies are not allowed to know.
