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.

Good - that's what I expected :-) At least we now have a "better out of the box experience" for everyday joe.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
