Changed the compensation cycle time to 2 hours now. Hahahaha! Wish me luck. Btw, if you check Rtings burn-in test, there's a brightness increase till like 1,000 hours or so. So I'm hoping it can improve a bit more.

Yes your uniformity seems to have improved and also it seems your panel doesn't have any prominent banding issues. My panel has prominent bands as you may see from my pictures.
Mine has an ugly band right in the center, made worse by the fact that two dark areas surround it. Seen it in a 3-4 shows. Only dark panning scenes bring it forward. Also, some changes might be due to the settings too. I'm not sure in which mode I took the photo that I posted recently. I'll take more tonight with the settings I mentioned in the first post.
Have you seen this banding in any content as of yet?

No, you absolutely do not need to do this but then again you are in place for AV enthusiasts and not your typical average Joe
@Marakk Sup Bro. I see that your panel uniforminty has come leaps and bounds over the last few months. Mine seems to be doing great so far. Will check again this weekend to see if I can see any changes/improvement from the last time I did the uniformity test.

Hey! Going well. Did some acoustic treatment in the room recently. Although, I'm not sure if uniformity has actually improved or it's just the camera blurring it out. I'll take more images tonight to compare.

Yup! I doubt it'll improve much. Are you noticing it in any content? In my set, I do notice that line in the center in some content, including the Marco Polo scene.

Yes in Marco Polo scene, i do notice the bands. After paying a bomb for the TV, it breaks heart to get these kinds of issues.
Yup. Try for a panel change if it's bugging you. No guarantees really with OLED, or even DSE in LEDs.
Is this banding visible in dark movie scenes? i am thinking about Dell XPS 15 with OLED but if movies dark scenes show banding then it defeats the very purpose of OLED screen and i can go for normal screen options.
It's visible only when it's a dark scene and the camera pans. Read reviews of that particular model. However, IPS glow or even VA panels can have bad uniformity that's even worse because it'll be visible in all scenes, like my IPS monitor or TCL TV or every damn TV I had had, including a Sony 3D one 6 years ago.

I don't think it will be easy to convince an average LG technician to agree to lodge a request for panel change.
Unlike Europe we don't have option of no questions asked option to return the set to retailer within 30/ 90 days.
Imagine to convince a LG technician, i will first have to make room pitch black and then play dark/ dim/ panning content to show the issue while in content with normal brightness, the banding won't be visible.
That's true. The return policy is what would have helped a lot. Give me a week. I have called a technician. Will update when the process is complete.

You have called technician for the uniformity/ banding issue?
Yes, but I think it's going to be easier because I have some deal pixels too now. Still, I'll update as to what happens.

I went through this thread roughly and also few videos in YouTube and other international forums. Seems like almost every LG OLEDs suffer banding. Any Sony A8 users here in this thread? How is the Banding problem with the Sony A8? Couldn’t find any Sony A8 or A9 owners complaining about banding issues
Because C9 outsells Sony models by a huge factor. Sony sets have the same issues. Check OLED banding thread on avsforum. Only GZ2000 seems to be using this custom optical method to have great grey uniformity, but whites can still be tinted.
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
