Macbook Pro desktop image

[MonsterTruckRally]

I recently bought a 15 inch Macbook Pro touchbar. I created an abstract background image in Photoshop to use as a desktop image. When I set the image as the desktop image, it seems to be downgraded in quality and causes gradient banding to appear. It is a 16 bit image that displays normally without banding when it is opened in other applications such as Preview. The dimensions and resolution of the image match the retina display. I have tried different file formats without any luck. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Export it at twice the resolution

That didn't work for me, but thanks for the suggestion.
