June 16, 20214 yr I've had this problem ever since I can remember with p3d v5, I just don't fly much at night and now I'm on a mission to fix it. I have a 4K tv as a monitor, I don't think it's the sharers. Here is a couple pics I took with my phone https://ibb.co/zXBSfsg https://ibb.co/HFxW8Qh https://ibb.co/fqYt9j9 https://ibb.co/cT4q7Lz Thank you for your help!
June 16, 20214 yr Hi If it's not shaders, have you tried with another monitor just to isolate your current monitor?

I have another monitor but it’s very very old and it does do the same thing. EA definitely makes it worse. I’m still on 5.1 so who knows if it’s been improved on 5.2

What videocard are you using? Edited June 17, 20214 yr by Tokitaumelie

Cheers, Rob. Hey Rob! I didn't see the text at the bottom of your pic until just now. I AM using an adaptor cable! It's a DisplayPort to HDMI. Its weird, I have tried two different DisplayPort to HDMI cables. The one I'm currently using is kinda pricey and supports 4k 60hrz HDR(the TV's) but doesn't support g-sync. The other cheaper one doesn't work with the TV's HDR but g-sync works. I prefer the first option. Obviously I should be using some other cable... Thanks for your help

(my monitor does a similar thing if I put the HD options on in windows )

Pending the model, there could be specific ports you need to use and/or specific TV settings for the input port that need to be set. Is port conversion (using an Adapter) your only option? How many "Displays" are listed in P3D Graphics screen, just one or more than one? Cheers, Rob. I'm using an 55" LG OLED C9 2019 model. It has several HDMI ports, 2 USB ports and one HDMI arc port that I just now noticed. My RTX is connected to a standard HDMI port(non arc) on the TV using an adapter from one of it's display ports. The RTX has one HDMI 2.0b port available. I only see one display on the P3D Graphics screen. It just lists my graphics card "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti.0.0" On 6/18/2021 at 9:44 AM, Rob_Ainscough said: That’s a good suggestion, but in one of his screenshots he showed 8bit per channel color so Win10 HDR option should not be available. Cheers, Rob I was actually able to do this...🤨 and it did not help. Same problem but now screen is pretty dark. Still shows 8 bpc, RGB. 32-bit and Full dynamic range in nvidia settings.

Using HDMI 1 via 4K 60Hz splitter from HDMI out on nVidia. 2. LG C9 Picture Mode = Game 3. LG C9 Black level = Auto 4. LG C9 Tru Motion = Off 5. LG C9 Motion Eye Care = Off 7. LG C9 ULTRA HD Deep Color = On 8. LG C9 Instance Game Response = On 9. NCP = G-sync ON both full and window mode 10. For P3D and XP I use 8bit color per channel, Win10 HDR OFF 11. For MSFS I use 12bit color per channel, Win10 HDR ON, MSFS HDR ON You might want to "test" using the HDMI port out of the nVidia direct to TV HDMI port. Cheers, Rob. Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have a cord yet that will work so what type of HDMI cord are you using? "ULTRA HD Deep Color" and "Instance Game Response" do not give me an option to change so I'm thinking its because they're not supported by my current setup.

July 16, 20214 yr Looks like 8bit colour banding to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding I use Reshade and the Banding filter to smooth things out. https://reshade.me/ A search for reshade in the P3D forum will return lots of posts. Cheers The banding filter in action - if you look close you'll see some slight banding but it's way less than would otherwise be visible Edited July 16, 20214 yr by Rogen Ryzen 5800X clocked to 4.7 Ghz (SMT off), 32 GB ram, Samsung 1 x 1 TB NVMe 970, 2 x 1 TB SSD 850 Pro raided, Asus Tuf 3080Ti P3D 4.5.14, Orbx Global, Vector and more, lotsa planes too.
