Does everyone get this "banding" on the main menu?

OK, this is one of those things that is really insignificant but it's been bugging me. I noticed it's the same on the Xbox so...

On the main menu there is some "banding" - I'm not even sure if that's the right word. Jaggedness? Blockiness? It doesn't come out well in a screenshot, you might need to either turn the brightness/contract up on your screen or raise your head a few inches and look down at it.

Does everyone see this in their game? Now that it's the same on the Xbox I can safely assume it's not my system (colour is set to 32-bit). Is it just caused by a lack of blacks?

I just think it looks a bit rubbish that's all.

If I put your image into an image editor and REALLY crank up the brightness/contrast, I can see some blocks, but they're not visible at all on my high-end 26" 1080P monitor at work on normal settings. Maybe your TV is set to auto-contrast or something, where it bumps up the backlight on very dark scenes. Check your brightness/contast settings on your TV.

PS If you tell me it's on a monitor, I'll be really disappointed. It's a TV, right? :)

To add: the background for the main menu is a video found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1010\Movies\FrontEnd0.webm

When I play the video in VLC the compression artefacts (thanks Ari) are much less noticeable but still there.

It's a monitor. Benq G2420HDBL.

When played on the Xbox One this is connected to a low-end Logik 1080p TV (with the Xbox set to 1080p and 36-bit colour).

Looks like your displays aren't calibrated properly. Windows has a quick program you can run through to get a ballpark calibration. That banding is present for everyone, just most people won't see it because their screens aren't so bright. Compare the 'black' on screen to the black of the frame - that's what's causing your issue.

Yeah I did the Windows calibration about a month or so ago but I'll run it again.

I guess you're referring to the most recent pic, the one from the Xbox, in hindsight I took the picture from too high a position so it looks worse than it is, but sure I will try messing around with the picture settings. I don't get that ghosting on the PC which made we wonder if it was something to do with the Xbox.

Thanks for all replies.
