Best LG TVs for banding control

#1

Near-black images show little visible vertical banding, and most of the dark screen stays remarkably even.

#2

Near-black scenes are surprisingly clean, with minimal visible vertical banding.

#3

The new processing pipeline produces exceptionally smooth HDR10 gradients and greatly reduces the G5’s banding. Very dark compressed material and some Dolby Vision scenes can still expose artifacts.

#4

Gradual transitions from dark to light look smooth, without obvious color bands in the Consumer Reports tests.

#5

Most color gradients transition smoothly, with only very faint bands in difficult shades.

#6

New processing largely eliminates obvious color banding, but dark-gray patterns and occasional Dolby Vision scenes may still show artifacts.

#7

The new processing greatly reduces visible banding and dark-scene dithering. A few samples still showed faint vertical bands in very dark gray content.

#8

Most gradual shades transition cleanly, though certain dark grays, blues, and greens show light banding.

#9

One test sees banding in dark blue and green, while another finds smooth tonal gradients with little obvious banding.
