All of that was tested. I had even purchased an expensive 1.4 DP cable hoping it's a bandwidth issue. As mentioned a few posts above, the problem remains when the monitor is plugged to another device, so software is ruled out.
So I received my replacement unit, dated April 2019 this time. Surprise surprise... same low gamma and color banding. Getting a refund now as I'm tired of this ********.
Lucky you—somehow I always get screwed on monitor lottery.
Mine says march 2019 and the serial number ends with A01. What would be funny is if that entire batch turned out to be low gamma ******** and I'm the first to notice and complain.
But yeah that settles it I'm getting an exchange.
Thanks for checking. What revision is yours though, and are you using an HDMI 2.0 cord?
BTW I hooked up the monitor to my Android phone via DisplayLink, and same result. Seems to rule out any software issue.
I first want confirmation it's actually a problem with my unit. I wouldn't want to exchange it for the same thing.
Any chance someone could take a picture of their unit with one of the wallpapers I used, for confirmation? You'll find them by clicking on the photos in my post.
I'm getting a disturbing amount of color banding on this thing.
It's the reason I sent back S2716DG last year, and based on various reports I ordered S2719DGF thinking that issue was pretty much gone. I must have landed a borked unit because I can't even find anyone else complaining about...
