Fine alternating stripes exaggerate nonlinear mapping from signal to luminance — banding clues when viewed from varying distances or with different sharpening settings. Interpret subjectively alongside calibration targets; fullscreen helps remove UI chrome glare.
Macbeth-style gray blocks
How to use
- Full-screen the combined ramp when diagnosing banding masked by bezel reflections.
- Compare sRGB emulation vs native wide gamut if your GPU exposes toggles.
- Step back—the stripe field should smoothen perceptually unless sharpening injects buzzing.
