Xordus Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 I just bought a new Samsung CF791 monitor mainly for the purposes of DCS. I'll just start by saying I've now seen things I never knew existed, the monitor is unbelievable. One problem that I honestly never even noticed before is banding. When looking at the sky, especially at dawn and dusk, the sky's gradient is separated into bands of color that are really distracting. I guess one problem with a better viewing device, imperfections stand out more. Is this immediately correctable? If not, is it something that ED recognizes and plans to patch? To my mind it's a pretty big oversight.
Mustang Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 It's even worse with night vision goggles, it's as if the skybox and NVG's use a cheap 256 colour range so performance is higher. P.S: during my time as a tester with ED i did report this but it never got any priority.

And in VR, the issues are magnified 10x what a monitor user sees. DCS is a daylight hours sim for me due to this reason...and the terrible ground lighting....sadly.
