Summary0000175: Banding appears if bitdepth is set to '7 bit'
DescriptionThis problem does not occur in previous version (0.87.4)

Banding apppears regardless of dithering algorithm if bitdepth is set to '7bit'.

See the comparison below
(Both with identical settings. No 3dlut, no overlay mode and no artifact removal)
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/65645

Set dithering algorithm to 'None', then take a screenshot of it.
I found that the grayscale tracking around value 106~117 is choppy.
As shown below

(Shouldn't it be 0-2-4-...-106-108-110-112-114-116-...-254 ?)

Steps To Reproduce1. Use mpc-hc to play the "test image".
2. Set "the native display bitdepth is" option in madVR to '7 bit'.
3. Banding appears near the center of the image.
