Be ready to spend hours and hours of sweat, frustration and exhaustion to get it not to band. Some machines are easier to avoid Banding than others, hopefully yours will be easier.

That about sums it up- a lot of hours!

What it basically boils down to is using the random access green to align the grid perfectly. I started with 800P/72 and have gone through 3 different set ups until I was 100% happy with the result. While getting rid of the banding took some time, getting optimal linearity horizontally was just as time consuming. For some reason the Horizontal C-linearity is really funky for this resolution/refresh. On my PJ, it has to be set to zero with a lot of manual random access adjustments to get things dialed in.

1080P/48 was a lot easier to set up as the linearity adjustments took less time. I still used the random access green but with less fiddling.

In both cases I taped off my screen's center lines horizontally and vertically. Then I used a yard stick to carefully measure the grid squares, circles, etc. I found that the more precise I dialed in the vertical linearity, the less evident the banding became until it was finally gone. The hardest part is keeping your sanity after looking at the screen for hours Shocked
