I just tested the EGL build with 16-235 + Kodi Full + Dithering + TV Limited... and it's nowhere near as clean as 0-255 + Kodi Limited + TV Limited -or- 0-255 + Kodi Full + TV Full. Both of those two present flawlessly smooth grayscales, however in 16-235 mode I can always see banding. It's far less obvious with dithering enabled, but still there.
To be honest, I think what I'm seeing are slight inconsistencies in the dithering pattern that are being amplified when blown up to 4k resolution on my TV. I took a screenshot and, on my computer monitor, the pattern that looked obviously bad on the TV actually looks quite smooth. At least, it does until I zoom in close and scroll side-to-side, where I can make out inconsistencies that form similar banding patterns.
