Issue - square grid showing?

[adfo]

Hi there, I'm new to here and photography really. But I got a Nikon D3000 a few weeks back, and I've noticed a few photos today coming up with strange grid like pattern on them, what is this?

I am hoping this will show the picture, as it keeps saying invalid URL, when its not!

Pic shows, no grid however. Are you talking about when you look in the viewfinder as you're taking the picture?

No, on that image there, I can see it, its like a strange bunch of squares all over the photo in a massive grid. A friend said it might be something called banding?

I don't see a grid either.

Are you talking about the vignetted corners?

No, I put them on! It's noise, forming a grid, its on my iPhone too so can't be only my computer?! Could be my eyes!? Haha.

It must be something on your end..... we're not seeing it. Perhaps you need to adjust your tinfoil hat.

You talking about how it looks pixelated?

Maybe pixelated could be a term used, if the pixelation is forming a grid over the whole thing? I can see it on the RAW original colour too? But not when I zoom in, is it something to do with resizing making it worse etc?

I am quite worried no one else can see it though!

You can view RAW files on your phone?

I'm not looking at the raw one on my phone? I checked that jpg above on my photo to see if it was there on that too.

Maybe this laptop just makes the noise look worse, I tried another laptop, and its not quite so bad, and doesn't look like an obvious grid, just normal noise.

So to sum it up, I'm a noob, nice to meet you, I think my laptops graphic card isn't great!

Perhaps your graphics card isn't set to the settings required for the monitor.

I tried changing them, gamma etc, but no luck, will try updating the driver anyway.
