Just bought RPi 3 Model B, and notice color banding (clean 8.0.1 install).
Is my Pi malfunctioning?
Last time I saw something like that in the old days, with 15 or 16-bit video-cards.
P.S. Definitely the issue is related to Pi.
My 11-year old IBM X61 laptop (i965 GMA950 graphics) doesn't show any color banding (generic x86 LibreElec build).
Here's an example of color banding.
Maybe RPI3 outputs 16-bit color to HDMI?
Or hardware malfunction of my particular RPI3?
Can you enable Debug and provide the logfiles, this will help.
HOW TO:Provide Logfile - LibreELEC
You have Dithering option enabled?
Kodi set to Limited or Full range?
TV set to Limited or Full range?
I would try installing Raspbian and see if you have any issues there.
Also try another HDMI cable.
Have you changed anything in config.txt or cmdline.txt? If so post them here.
Thank you for the answers!
It's a clean install 8.0.1, no settings changed.
TV HDMI is set to full, tried all three tvs in the house: Sharp, Samsung, LG. Same result.
HDMI cable is not the issue, tried several.
Will install Raspbian and see.
Also will provide debug files later.
Installed Raspbian, clean install, not changed any settings.
High quality HDMI cable (MonsterCable Brand, costed more than RPI)
I see apparent vertical banding in image: banding.png
Anybody can try this file on RPI3?
