Banding issue

I've calibrated my TV (Hisense 55U68KM) and everything looks as good as possible. But I'm seeing a lot of banding in dark areas. Technically, by the numbers and results in calibration I should be fine. What reasons would cause banding when the video isn't some massively compressed garbage signal? Could the panel somehow still be too bright despite having done proper brightness, contrast, gamma, and white level calibration? Should I just turn downbrightness or something until they go away? I can't tellmy display is too hot or if this is banding I'm going to see no matter what.
 
Are you watching over HDMI or directly from GoogleTV? If using the TV, getting good Mbps via wifi or ethernet? The banding happens playing 8K vids on Youtube?

HDMI from a Rpi with Kodi accessing videos on my home network which is mostly 1080p with minimal compression. I don't really know what Google TV is as I don't use any streaming networks only disc and file media.
 
I think you should try lowering the brightness a bit or turning on film mode, it might help, but some banding may be inherent to the panel and content.

That hisense is garbage to hit a price point. Then it fails and it's doubly garbage.

Otherwise, you should compare like with like, find a video file that produces this and then put that into a video editor app on a system with a different monitor to see if it has that banding in the video. A TV can't fix what's in the video, some are just crap to begin with. Crap video plus crap TV is doubly crappy. 🙂
