    Banding in gradients is a screen problem.
    If you don't own an expensive monitor you will get banding and depending the model it gets better or worse. For example in my case I can see the banding and in the lighter parts I can see here and there some very light pink hues.
    At my mate's Eizo screen (he spend something around 2500Euros on it - ouch!) it is smooth with not banding at all.
    Actually drawing a gradient in Photoshop and setting it full screen is the best way to test if a monitor is good enough for photo manipulation and dtp.

    • I've got a cheap-ass Dell, with no banding, so no dice there, I'm afraid.detritus
