I got an LG L2000C 20" LCD delivered the other day and it shows some odd banding in grey scales. When I display a gradual scale from light to dark grey each level of grey is clearly visible but some levels show a distinct coloured hue, mainly pinks and purples.
I've tired to capture an image with a camera, this shows the effect quite well when displayed on other monitors (I've checked).

I've tried all the different colour/contrast/brightness settings on the monitor and all show the same effect. The f-engine settings on the monitor tend to make the effect worse. (I used the "movie" setting to take the photo since that is the worst.)
I'm not sure whether to send the monitor back and get a replacement, or just ask for my money back and try a different brand. Do you think a different L2000C unit is likely to show the same problem?
