Yes it's because it's a digital screen. Never had the problem with CRT

Alright, geez, that's not cool then.
Hm, Monitor, arrrgghh crap

If it's the Monitor, it should be a global issue,
not just in Simulations.
What Monitor and cable are you using?
Just thinking about trying another cable type,
to see what it gets. If it's already the best cable option, scratch this.
Running out of ideas

I'm using an ASUS VS278 and I've already tried to change different cables and different ports but the problem persists... now I have only a few other options left, change monitors, and see if the problem is present there too...
😔🤦‍♂️

I guess I must be coming across as writing some untranslatable alien language...

The only monitor pretty much guaranteed to not suffer this issue is an old school CRT. That means cathode ray tube. You know, those old, super heavy monitors more resembling a TV from the 80s.

If you were to try a whole room full of digital screens, this issue is likely to be present for all, unless some particular de-banding option were to be built in. Or, perhaps, if one adjusts contrast and brightness outside the norm. Such as making the darkest parts of the image go totally black (and thus losing shadow detail and so on.)

Digital displays are inherently unforgiving of the finite steps in tone/hue when contrast in the image is quite low. A greater bit depth in the video stream, and the capability of the monitor to display it properly, are the base cure.

In the meantime, marcost has pointed out that Reshade offers a de-banding effect. I've not tried it myself, due to already using two other effects and not wanting to add more. But out of curiosity I just might see how it works (if my 3 year old version includes it.)

ASUS monitors are known to have banding issues, but I don't know if its worse than other brands. Lots of complaints online. As far as I know there isn't a silver bullet fix. I've got a PG278QR and it's got the same problem.

A little update, hacking into the internet and not only... I managed as much as possible to alleviate the visual discomfort... unfortunately not definitively because apparently the problem is related to the Asus monitor range. Strange but true, mine doesn't have many adjustments... and so I downloaded a different calibration profile from this site:
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/proart-display-pa278qv
something that was as close as possible to the monitor version... and this is the result, but I'm still hacking to try to improve it as much as possible, also because on most of the sites they complain about this artefact in many asus monitors without many banding options, Thanks also to the push provided by Marcost in the last answer, it has now become a challenge between man and machine...For now the car wins 2-1 but I can always draw and maybe win....😁🤣🤣🤣🤗
Here is a first screen of the work... with all the standard values ​​without any es-ReShade modification, maybe starting tomorrow I'll start tinkering with the latter too...
