At first I thought you were talking about huge changes of color like seeing blue instead of red?
Let me sum things up a little;problem occurs when I play games while my BenQ x2200w is connected to ps3 via hdmi.I dont know if the color corruption is caused by my ps3 or my benq monitor so I connected my benq both to my laptop and my ps3 to see if ps3 was the problem and all images gave same results on both my ps3 and laptop.
I am not an expert in this matter so what I am experiencing may not be color banding.What you tought at first is right.I will try to explain it alittle more with pics I took with a mobile phone( sorry for the low quality,you may need to scale down the image to see the problem):
1)Gran Turismo: (the color of the car is not important) when there are shadows on car which changes the color of the car there is color corruption; a shadow makes some part of the car black ,around this black there are strange colors(red,pink,green,etc.):

2)Team Ninja logo:

What puzzles me is that if the problem is caused by benq, it shouldn't be able to give satisfying results in test images and if it is caused by ps3, it shouldnt give satisfying results when I view test images by installing them on ps3.
I cant say if benq cant handle tones of gray because:
1)In gran turismo changing the color of the car doesnt change color corruption.
2)On gray scale test images benq gave satisfying results both with laptop and ps3.
