Windows 10: Color banding issues windows 10

Hi guys ! I have a problem with the colors displaying on windows that drives me crazy, for some reason , the colors are graduated, all the drivers are up to date, the zoom recommended by windows is 125%, I thought that's where the problem comes from, but no matter what settings I choose, it doesn't fix the problem. I've already tried to tweak the calibration loader settings,disable all ICC profiles, nothing !Has anyone encountered the same problem and has a solution or a work around?
Here are two screenshots to better explain the issue as well as the configuration of the laptop :

Windows Color Management Issue

Hi billin30,

With the issue you're having with your display color, I suggest that you calibrate. There may have been settings that is causing the issue and resetting them may solve this. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key on your keyboard, type Calibrate display color.
2. Follow the on screen instructions.

If the issue will not somehow improve, try to check with your monitor's color settings just to be sure.

Also, I'd like to clarify what monitor is having the issue with its display going to the 'other monitor'? I'd also like to ask for help in isolating the issue. Try to use the monitors one-by-one or have them pair up with one another. Like have BenQ paired
with Asus then have Alienware paired with Asus etc.

Update me if there were improvements.

S2716DG color banding.

I've been using S2716DG for 19 months now, and while I love this monitor so much color banding has always been an issue for me, and many users reported it as well. It is most prominently visible in videos, and I watch a ton of them every day on youtube. I tried everything ppl say should alleviate the problem:
-custom icc profiles
-adjusting with contrast/brightness/colors in OSD
-adjusting gamma and vibrance in nvcp
and while they did help a little with color reproduction, the banding issue was still very pronounced.
Then,just today,I stumbled upon a trick that apparently works, don't know how and why, but the banding in videos in almost gone like with a snap of a finger. My monitor brightness was at 40% in OSD, and the brigtness setting in nvcp is default 50%. Terrible banding in some videos. Now just today,totally by chance, I discovered that putting the brightness in nvcp at 22% eliminates 99% of the banding for me, to the extent I can't see it anymore unless I squint and try to pick up very tiny details. Then I used the monitor's OSD to raise the brightness and the brightess is back to the same level it used to be before and banding is gone. This puzzles me a lot. Why does adjusting brightness in OSD not remove it, but adjusting it in nvcp works wonders?

Like in this video,before the brightness adjustments in nvcp, banding on the black backround and around the red album cover was clearly visible from 2 metes away, now it's almost completely gone even if I'm sitting close.


Not only banding on colors is greatly reduced, white looks a lot less "dirty" than it used to be before,colors are more vibrant. Quite frankly I'm stunned, the the monitor has never looked that good..... It's been 19 months I've been using it with banding and sort of greyish white color....
