Banding is often caused by insufficient color palette. Cheap TN panels (which have bad color, bad viewing angles, color shift, and which I consider garbage) often have 6 bit color - which means they can only produce 64 different shades of each color. You get obvious banding on these cheap screens. It's hard to find them any more in the US though.

8 bit color is standard on most LCDs that aren't total garbage. It's unlikely you'd be able to perceive banding that wasn't already there when the video was recorded.

10 bit color is available on very high end panels, and must be paired with something that can output 10 bit color, because most recording isn't 10 bit.
