Windows 10 gradients not displaying properly


Recommended Posts

I have a Surface Book, hooked up to a Surface Dock, going to a Dell Ultra HD 4K Monitor P2415Q.

 

I've noticed recently, though I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, that gradients on the external display don't transition properly. On the Surface Book display they are good. Like I'm missing colors or something? I've attached a photo.

 

I've tried downloading the color profile for this monitor with no change.

 

The only other thing I can think of is it's Windows 10 Insider (fast, currently on the latest?) but again.. this may have started before that. I also tried upgrading my Surface Pro 3 to that build, plugged it into the dock and it displays fine. So I have eliminated that its an issue with the monitor or Surface Dock, and possibly the 1809 beta.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

- Check colour depth setting in Windows.
- Try changing the format of the file to 16 bit if it already isn't.

- Try adding 2-4% noise filter, then do a single blur filter, this can on occasion fix bad gradients.

 

Other than that, it could just be that this is the best the display can manage...

    • Support? You mean the support that microsoft's phone lines now just direct you to their website to look for a non-existent solution to Office problems (like all the ones they've been introducing to Outlook Classic), and hangs up on you? Don't think anyone would miss such mediocre "support"...
    • Unbelievably good deal sees this AMD Ryzen Windows 11 Lenovo laptop selling for just $266 by Sayan Sen While desktops are generally more powerful, laptops can be quite handy as they offer portability while also providing about 70-80% of the performance of a similar-priced desktop. If you are in the market shopping for one, then Lenovo is offering one with AMD's Ryzen 8-core APU at a low price of just $266 (purchase link down below). The discounted model we are specifically talking about here is the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6., It is a 15.6-inch notebook powered by the AMD Ryzen 5700U APU, built on an 8-core 16-thread Zen 2 CPU and Vega 8 integrated graphics. The device has plenty of memory too, as it packs 12 GB of DDR4-3200 memory where 4 Gigs are soldered while the remaining 8 GB SODIMM is upgradable. Since the memory configuration is asymmetrical, the laptop likely supports flex mode and thus 8 out of 12 GB should be running in dual channel mode while the remaining 4 is in single channel mode. The laptop has a 512 GB M.2 2242 SSD for storage. Get it at the link below: Lenovo 2023 Ideapad 15.6 Inch FHD Touchscreen, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, Windows 11 Home: $265.70 (Shipped and Sold by Amazon US) You may notice the poor reviews for this laptop on Amazon but that is apparently due to a possibly fraudulent seller. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the Amazon US deals page here.

    • This is obviously the most buggy web browser.
    • Uhm, why the preferential treatment for 1Password instead of simply providing an API for all password managers to plug into? I ditched 1Password for Enpass soon as Agilebits began forcing their cloud sh*t into 1Password. Have no reason to switch from the 100% locally-hosted Enpass...
