It's funny to me that Netflix has such strict standards for cameras, but their content delivery is usually such low quality. Maybe my friends with netflix just aren't paying enough to get decent-looking video? One example that I remember is a horror movie where a bogey comes out of a dark doorway. I was totally distracted from the scene by the atrocious brightness levels. I won't even call it "banding", because that implies a sort of geometric layout to the levels - this was more like "blocking". It was even worse than I would normally expect from dark bt.709 content. I assume the issue was something like their compression eliminated any natural dithering that would make dark zones look OK in SDR content. Hopefully their compression strategy does a better job with dark content using bt.2100 transfers.
