Temporal Dithering Sensitivity - My Solution

Alyosha2001 I'm not sure what you're asking. If it's banding, it means dithering is turned off (as you know)

JTL I was curious if banding appears to anybody else who turns dithering off (if there are true 8 bit panels, in other words)

I asked because I wonder shouldn't this be a good indicator wheather it is on or off, as I don't think there are many true 8 bit displays, especially on laptops.
"I'm working on trying to find a solution - so far I'm not convinced it's the Intel drivers that are causing the problem here, I think the dithering may in fact be coming from the GTX 1050 (old laptop was GTX 960) and I feel that when I disable the 1050 in Device Manager the laptop becomes more usable. Only time will tell with this however as once my headaches and migraines have been triggered it takes a while for my head to go back to normal sadly." - it seems to me like si_edgey was not sure whether it was enabled or not

Also an issue with ditherig (v.1.7 and 1.6, others I haven't tried) and Intel HD Graphics 530 , when the screen goes off, dithering functionality is set back to default, even if "Disable all dithering options" is still checked. With previous intel HD Graphics 4600, this issue was not present

i've never gotten ditherig to work. I always get 'failed to load dll".
are you guys doing anything special?

reaganry Did you try extracting it from the zip file?

Although I don't currently have Windows or a computer with Intel graphics handy I guess it should look like this in the directory you run it from.

yeah, mine looks like that, i do notice the 2 folder choices are x86 and amd64, neither which applies to my 64 bit i3 setup

JTL it's a popup box that says "Failed to configure the registers" or "Failed to load a DLL" when i run the x86). people earlier in the thread were getting the same msg. It's titled "Dithering Settings for Intel Graphics"

Alyosha2001 external one

„Software to change the dithering configuration of Intel graphics in notebooks to improve the image quality of the built-in display.” - quote from download page of ditherig

Alyosha2001 Yup, untested for desktops.

Speaking of which. I know how "dithering" works and it might be possible to produce an OSX and Linux version in the future.

Alyosha2001 I asked because I wonder shouldn't this be a good indicator wheather it is on or off, as I don't think there are many true 8 bit displays, especially on laptops.

Yes (assuming display is 6+2 bit) aka dithering

I wonder if HP DreamColor displays are native 8-bit.

I had dreamcolor on Elitebook 8560w, take a look at the flickering on it. It was constant flicker, not like PWM linked to brightness settings, flickering all over the place. I believe so are all, because I don't think the technology permits true 10bit displays. I haven't even met an 8 bit one. If anyone knows any, PWM and dithering free IPS, please let us know, (let's try to make a list or something)
For example, I know AU Optronics B156HAN01 is IPS PWM free, with dithering disabling via this tweak (banding occurs, not true 8 bit)

Alyosha2001 That looks like some sort of LCD polarization between the camera lens and the LCD film layer?

No, it's just flickering in all three base colors (it is RGB led illuminated)

JTL And so are the majority of the illuminated keyboards, rgb or white, they use PWM dimming,too
