I also see a 'clean' sky in 32-bit but posterisation in 16-.

Could it be that your browser is working in 16-bit mode..? I've seen some 
older browsers do this - check the options for any funny switches, or 
perhaps you should bravely upgrade from Netscape v1.0, Lynn?  ;)

I'm assuming you've checked all the obvious stuff, like your kids sneakily 
putting your video card into 16bit mode for a game.  I've also noticed that 
flicking from one res/color depth to another can sometimes results in odd 
effects when you go back to the higher settings, so maybe it just needs a 
boot..

Failing all that, take your monitor/video card back to the supplier (at 
last, a non-Nikon fault!)
