I have never seen banding before, the image seems specifically picked to show the effect. I know it's common when converting to less than 256 but color, e.g. if you turn images into svgs for some reason, or gifs (actual gifs, not video)
Also dithering exists.
Anyway, it'll surely be standard at some point in the future, but it's very much a small quality improvement and not something one definitely needs.
Well, of course it is.
Banding is more common in synthetic gradients though, like games and webpages. A really easy way to see it is using a css gradient as a web page background.
Fair enough. Dithering would still be an option though. But if it's not done I agree there can be visible stripes in some cases.
Also I wanted to apologize for the negative wording in my above comment. That was uncalled for, even if I think HDR is totally not worth it at the moment.
Yeah, they've reduced the colour depth the show off the effect without requiring HDR already.
I find it a lot more noticeable in darker images/videos, and places where you're stuck with a small subset of the total colour depth.
