Maybe bit-depth of colors has for some reason lowered to 6-bit.

Just have to search the settings in driver menu.

 

In AMD drivers it's there:

in the first image you can notice it in the black hair, in rey light's saber and the last one pretty much everywhere, anyway this also happen in some games like genshin impact and the witcher 3 at night, also in the battlenet launcher is really noticible but is kinda hard to see in the image

Those images do have banding present in them beyond that which is caused by 8bpc, especially the last one.

If u see no banding then yes the monitor is fine in that respect. The images (wallpapers u linked) themselves are the cause, as mentioned.

 

Banding in games can be either caused by the fact its just the way the game was made, with what ever color depth they used,

or

Possibly an issue with the AMD driver and the way its rendering.  You'd have to check with other users of those specific games. I dont play either of those u mentioned so cant check myself.
