Am I the only person who couldn't tell the difference in that horizontal gradient example?

Am I the only person who couldn't tell the difference in that horizontal gradient example?
- wildranter 14y agoVertical line right in the middle. Like the OP said, once you see it you can't stop seeing it.
- nwh 14y agoI can't on my MacBook or external screen. I tried on my iPhone—assuming that the screen might be lower quality—sadly the website blew up and there was no gradient to be found.
- nairteashop 14y agoOddly enough, I can see it in Chrome but not in Safari. I'm on OS X.
- bhauer 14y agoPossible I have the gradients defined in such a way that Safari doesn't render it. Safari is supposed to pick up on the -webkit-linear-gradient, right? background-image: linear-gradient(to left, #484848, #494949); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #484848, #494949); background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(right, #484848, #494949);
- Someone 14y agoTry fiddling with your brightness/contrast settings.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoI could, but barely. Not enough that this website made me care about the issue.
- mrspeaker 14y agoThat's his point though, right: you are saying "meh, it's good enough".
- jff 14y ago"No. No, no, no. (Points to a section of a wall.) That's the new Military Grey bit there, and that's the dowdy, old, nasty Ocean Grey bit there. Or was it the other way round?" -- Rimmer, 'Red Dwarf'
- mpyne 14y agoIt's always only good enough. Who actually has a literally perfect life?
- bhauer 14y agoTrue. Every step in technology's progress is selected because it's "good enough" to ship the technology out of the lab. The point I'm making is this: it was good enough in ~1995. Frankly, it was awesome back then! But is it really still good enough in 2012?
- jamesaguilar 14y agoI'm saying that I'd love it if this was within the first thousand things on the list of biggest problems I'm dealing with.
- jopt 14y agoSafari renders both sides as rgba(72, 72, 72, 1.0). I have no idea why. Perhaps (ironically) a dithering algorithm gone wrong. In chrome the divide is visible.
- dsego 14y agoFor a minute there I though I was blind. Kept staring with my nose touching the glass. But you can really tell the difference in Chrome.
- barrkel 14y agoI see banding in gradients quite often; more often in dynamic scenes in games than in more tightly designed static content online. Of course much of the media we consume has quantized colour, streamed videos especially don't really stand up to any kind of close examination using today's displays, never mind futuristic ones. Banding from limited gamut is not the big problem here, there are much bigger elephants.
