Photoshop Phaffery

I have some black and white photos that I want to turn into halftone images. It should take just a single click of the mouse but, for some reason, the filter isn't working like it oughta. Areas of 100% whiteness, which should be completely dotless, have dots applied to them. It's as if Photoshop thinks these areas are grey.

Can anyone help, or should I just kick the shit out of my PC?

Can you go to levels and curves and clip the histogram? It might push the white bits into true white.

I did. No joy.

The fact that the gradient worked as it should, almost makes it worse.

In case it's of any interest/help to anyone, I managed to bypass the problem by using the Colour Halftone filter instead and setting all 4 colours to the same angle.
I've still no clue what's wrong with the monochrome version.

It's of no interest or help. Sorry.
