My girlfriend said she couldn't see the horizontal banding.. So to
confirm my non-insanity I made a test image 2px high, 30px wide. The
left 15 pix has blue a blue pixel on top and a red pixel on the
bottom.. the right half reverses this.

Because every other line is dimmer than it's neighbor, this causes a
color change every 15 pixels (vertical bars, alternating between more
purple and more lavender), it's really obvious that something is
wrong:
