As I understand it, the display modes on my 2407 basically allow me to turn on/off the Faroudja video processing - i.e. off in desktop mode, on in the other two modes?

Is there anything else different between these modes and there is any reason why I would want to not use desktop mode since, the couple of times I have switched to one of the other two modes, I see some banding.

In addition, I had it set to gaming mode when playing Silent Hunter IV and each time I hovered over the control buttons and the pop up text appeared, the whole screen gamma or brightness moved up a notch. Moving away from the pop up, the display returned back to its original brightness. I.e. I assume the video processing chip is changing settings on the fly according to what is displayed - but why or when would I want this?
 
when i had my 2, i never switched out of desktop mode.. because banding was a serious issue... just leave it in desktop mode to be honest... the other modes are just a waste of time...

if you want to up the gamma do it on the pc...
