Ok, thanks for checking !

Does it occur on all refreshrates/resolutions ? Or are some less prone to the banding ? (as far as gaming is concerned, it might perhaps be possible to find a suitable resolution/refresh rate...)

VJ not all cards are affected by the banding. My (dead) card hadn't the banding problem. Maybe you could ask if you could test the card in a shop (altough the chances are low).

By the way one of my monitors uses an BNC cable the two others a normal VGA cable.

Well, I have very good contacts with my dealer, so I could ask him if this is possible. He usually has few issues in returning cards (or other hardware) to where he bought them, but as he doesn't stock Matrox, I'm not sure... In the past, he has provided me with several cards to take home for testpurposes (mainly network/soundcards) , so I can ask...

Are there some similarities between the cards that exhibit the banding (e.g. same production line/plant, similar serial numbers, ...) ?

I confess , I felt a bit jealous, I wanted one with the banding problem so I killed it


Seriously I don't know why it broke down, just bad luck I guess .
