Color Banding & Blotching

3

Hey All!

I have a JS8500 and with 4k content (via Roku, any app) the color of distance, bright objects show distancing color banding (things like sky, walls, etc). In addition, there tend to be pink blotches in the coloring of some tones (skin tones, off-whites, blues in particular). Is this due to the 8bit color range that’s barely capable of handling HDR?

Any help or suggestion is appreciated to achieve a smoother picture.

Thanks!
