Hey,
My monitor is Dell 1440p U2515H, and I'm having a problem since I updated to Sierra.
The gradients, blur effects, and shadows look weird. Not fuzzy, but less color accuracy. for instance, a shadow would look like strips of gray colors instead of a real gradient. It's difficult to capture on camera, but I tried my best. Look at the image and try to see that the blur looks different than it should be..
The fun part is that when you take a screenshot, the image itself actually looks good. Gradients and all. so I can't upload a screenshot.
Oh, what's weird is that when I lower the resolution from 1440p to 1080p I think the problem is completely gone, at least to my eye. Only when I return the monitor to 1440p I can see this issue.
This is new to me, only in Sierra I came across this.
From system report:
DELL U2515H:
Resolution: 2560 x 1440 @ 59 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
I think the real pixel depth of the monitor is not 32 bit(or maybe it is?). Could it be the source of the problem?
Thank you!!
(Oh, and if anybody here remembers that blinking problem with that monitor under OS X, it's still here, but much less often, so it's usable)
Oh, and I have QE/CI enabled, because I see ripples when adding a new widget in the Dashboard (I read this was one way to check that out)
