HP f2105 Wide Flat Panel Monitor
Has anyone tried out the HP f2105 Wide Flat Panel Monitor on a G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT? I just switched from two professional CRT monitors which were starting to die after 6 years of constant use. The image looks very bright and crisp on the HP f2105. My only issue is the banding that appears with color gradations in Photoshop and Illustrator. On CRTs this issue would appear when the color pallet was set to Thousands of colors and disappeared when it was set to Millions. This problem is now present with the HP f2105 set to Millions. Please note that the HP f2105 does not ship with any Mac OS X drivers nor does HP offer it via their Web site. However, Mac OS X does recognize the monitor via the System Profiler as follows:

Any ideas how to remedy this banding problem?
