It is fair to say that it is not that much of a big deal and it is only noticeable rarely i. It is just something I wasn't expecting - I knew about the issues with dark scenes and the issues with watching sports. At least I now know I am not alone and it is nothing to worry about Thanks again Tony. Marketing hipe, just like contrast and response time. Contrast and black levels is another great area for obfuscation and a few little porkpies.
Have you any personal experience with bit Bravia? I've also seen this on my KDL40V I recognize it in the ads, I think it's the Ford ads. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads V.

Just a quick miserly rant. Above, you can compare what excellent and poor gradient handling looks like.
If you look closely, you can see more obvious banding in the right image, particularly in the green gradients. For this test, we display the test pattern on the TV from a PC using an HDMI connection, and our testers write subjective notes on what it looks like and what score they would expect it to get. They leave the image on the display overnight, so the TV warms up, and in the morning, the tester uses a camera to take a photo of the pattern on the TV.
The final scoring is based on the standard deviations of the four different colors: red, blue, green, and gray. We place a Colorimetry Research CR colorimeter in front of the TV, and we play a video that transitions from the darkest shade of every color to the most saturated. The Octave software reads these measurements from the colorimeter and calculates the standard deviation of each color. Standard deviation represents how close the image comes to the original test pattern; a lower standard deviation is better.
Each color is calculated as an average of all the standard deviations, and anything less than 0. Color depth is the number of bits of information used to tell a pixel which color to display. This allows bit to specifically display many more colors: 1. Nearly every 4k TV now accepts bit signals, and the only 8-bit TVs we've tested under our latest test bench are p or p displays.
However, having a display that accepts a bit signal is only beneficial if you're watching bit HDR content; otherwise, you're limited to 8-bit content in video games or from your PC. We aren't actually testing to see whether or not the panel is bit or 8-bit; we just want to know what type of signal it accepts.
Also, accepting a bit signal doesn't mean it has good picture quality because if it has a narrow color gamut , it won't display colors as it should. We verify color depth while performing our picture test. If we don't see any 8-bit banding, it means the TV supports bit color.
Even though most current TVs max out at bit color, sending a bit signal helps to allow processing like white balance adjustments to be enabled without adding banding. Two things can happen with banding: either two colors that are supposed to look the same look very different, or two colors that are supposed to look different end up appearing the same.
This is because the TV can't display the necessary color, so it groups it with another. This is why banding appears on the screen.
With a high bit-depth signal played on a TV that supports it, more information is used to determine which colors are displayed. This allows the TV to differentiate between similar colors more easily and thereby minimize banding. As mentioned above, the processor affects the banding. Sony TVs are known for their exceptional gradient handling at the time of writing, 7 of our 8 best TVs for gradient handling are from Sony , mainly because their processor is better at gradient handling than the competition.
Also, higher-end TVs tend to have better gradient handling because they have superior processing than lower-end options. With good dithering, the result can look very much like higher bit-depth, and many TVs use this process to smooth out gradients onscreen.
However, it's not common for modern 4k TVs to use this technique as we see it more often on monitors. We also test for gradient handling on monitors, but we test it differently than on TVs.
We use the same test pattern, but instead of objectively measuring it, we subjectively look at it and assign a score. Because of this, you can't compare the gradient score between the two products. Learn more about gradient handling on monitors. The resolution doesn't affect the gradient handling.
Resolution defines the number of pixels, while color depth is the number of colors each pixel displays, so having more pixels doesn't change anything.
An 8k TV won't inherently have better gradient handling than a 4k TV just because it has a higher resolution. The TV needs to be able to accept true bit signals from the source for a more detailed color. There is no sure way to fix vertical banding. Although for newer TVs, it has been observed that vertical bands subside after about hours of viewing. Another method can be tried in TVs which provide for a pixel refresher in the settings menu.
This feature is usually provided for avoidance of image retention. However, some users have highlighted that running this pixel refresher has shown significant reduction in vertical banding. Vertical banding is ideally covered under the product warranty provided by the manufacturer. Further, if the product is new, replacement should be easy. However, perception of banding is subjective. At times, the service technician may not agree that the banding is significant.
See this review by an Amazon customer. To avoid such cases, you should take pictures and videos when banding is at its worst. And use the same content to present banding when claiming service under warranty. Vertical banding is a uniformity defect in the TV screen which arises due to manufacturing defects. There is no sure method of fixing it, although pixel refresher and screen time of approximately hours have shown probable alleviation of this problem in new TVs.
However, if the issue keeps persisting, it is best to replace it while under product warranty. What causes color banding on TV? How do I stop my TV from banding? How does a TV produce Colour?
