** Description changed:

  The problem affects the integrated display on a Lenovo B50-80 notebook.
  
  Colour banding is visible everywhere on the system, as dithering seems
- not to be enabled. This issue was not present on non-HWE Ubuntu 16.04,
- and it showed up after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. There was already a
- bug #1749420 that was resolved
- (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1749420) with very
- similar symptoms, albeit the make and model of a LCD screen in that case
- was different. However, the source of this problem is probably the same,
+ not to be enabled on this 6bpp display. This issue was not present on
+ non-HWE Ubuntu 16.04, and it showed up after I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.
+ There was already a very similar bug #1749420 that had a fix released,
+ however, because the make and model of an LCD screen in that case was
+ different, the quirk added to the kernel did not address the problem
+ that affects my machine. The cause of this issue is probably the same,
  since I have checked that pre-4.8.0-rc2 kernels handled dithering
  correctly, and 4.8.0-rc2 and later kernels already had the bug
- described. Therefore, I believe that adding another quirk may fix the
- problem.

  I attached the results of running
  sudo get-edid | parse-edid in a file named edid.txt
  and
  sudo get-edid | edid-decode in a file named edid-decoded.txt.
