Is it normal for sRGB clamp? Of course, I was able to reduce it a bit by setting the gamma in the Nvidia control panel to 0.99.
Is there another way to clamp without banding?

Also, my monitor (MSI G244pf E2 IPS) has sRGB mode in the OSD settings, which does not cause banding, but I want to avoid it for the following reason (In short, bad black level which causes black crushing):

I extracted the default monitor profile using DisplayCAL, and used it in novideo_srgb, the result is the same (it causes banding in the dark area), but when I check the option "Calibrate gamma to sRGB", it makes the Balck level even better, but the banding in the dark area is still there, so luckily I enabled Dithering and that solves the banding, I'm new to such things, can someone explain these options to me? Is there a negative impact especially on gaming?
