Thanks, I’ve edited your post. So banding due to wrong bitdepth is no longer a problem. Residual banding still exists, at least on LG OLEDs, at least on Revenant. If anyone can clip me that part of Revenant I will see if it’s noticeable on my Panny and have a fiddle with the dithering settings.
If you know the time stamp I can send you a sample of the remux I should have the file in 4k somewhere on my PC still was getting it for a friend when it was freshly released
It’s most visible in the section between 00:01:30 and 00:02:10, from memory. There’s a fade out of a scene with a very gradual gradient sky which shows it very clearly.
This is interesting, I’ll try and see whether I can get a picture on 122 with PC mode disabled, I don’t think I was able to on the B8, but I have tried so many permutations with some inconsistent results, so i’m not 100% sure.
This is exactly what I see, some banding but better than with 8bit output, I hope I get the same result as you with PC mode disabled.
Ok I made a sample that starts at 90s into the movie and goes for 90s so that should show the affected moments.

No problems with that test clip on my Sony KD55XD8005
OSMC 17.8-347 with the 122 kernel.

3D config: offI have now tested it by directly connecting the Vero to the tv. I get a “no signal” regardless of setting the input of the Vero to PC mode. Strange, but because I want to use the AVR, I stop trying to get that to work. If it helps anyone, I can give it another go.
Via my AVR 444 10 bit works with and without enabling PC mode. The AVR reports the input signal as 444 10 bit. It seems the AVR changes the signal, because with a direct connection between the Vero and the TV I get “no signal”. I can’t see what the AVR outputs (the AVR nor the TV display it), but it is possible the AVR converts to 422, because the TV doesn’t support it. Just guessing.
It might be the cable… 444 10bit needs more bandwidth than 422. Are you using the same cable that you used to connect your Vero to your AVR with?
Yes. Banding still there via Plex/XPlay/direct USB. .
Also, the built-in LG C7 decoder is broken for UHDs. Lots of movies with macroblocking issues. No other devices have that issue.
I noticed that your config when playing that clip shows YUV422 colourspace, whereas on my original comment about banding in the movie it shows YUV444. I have no idea if that is expected behaviour with different panels?
We are building up our collection of EDIDs. If you haven’t done so, can you post cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/rawedid and cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid please?
Yes, I would like to know that as well.
Yes. I tried both the cable that’s between the Vero and the AVR (included with the Vero) and the cable that’s between the AVR and the TV.

ATM, if you change the TV mode you will have to reboot vero or at least restart kodi (Power->Exit) to get it to re-read the EDID. That may be why it works with one setup but not another.
That will be fixed in the next update.
So this is for through yr AVR but with or without PC mode?
Yep, I’ve move my Vero to a different HDMI port on my TV. On some Sony TV’s only 2 of the ports are full bandwidth and support 10bit444 the other 2 only support 10bit422.
Edit:- Just to be thorough I’ve move my Vero back to one of the full bandwidth port and tried the test clip again, and at 10bit444 it still plays without any banding.
