But like I said before, so many contents have banding (most of which are video games, lossy-compressed motion videos and lossy-compressed still images).

If you want to eliminate the possibility of your TV, which is unlikely, carry-out the following:

1. Connect your PC to the TV via DVI/HDMI using video mode (720p/1080p).
2. Display the image below and see if you can notice any banding

Alternatively, you can run this self-contained application from Eizo
Looking at this on my 15" dell computer monitor I cant see any banding, only a slight difference in shade. On my Samsung LE40M87 I can see very slight banding but I really have to stare at the screen, so I guess Im happy with the screen.
