Gotham v13. Just downloaded it today. Please don't get me wrong - there is a significant improvement in black level compared to Frodo (and that seems to be regardless of the new limited range setting). Just that Grayscale is banded.
To be clear I have tried the following settings which both give correct black levels but have Grayscale banding :
XBMC (limited) -> Intel HD Input (full) -> Intel HD Output (full) -> Samsung (full)
XBMC (limited) -> Intel HD Input (limited) -> Intel HD Output (full) -> Samsung (full)
XBMC (full) -> Intel HD Input (full) -> Intel HD Output (full) -> Samsung (full)
The above with Intel HD Output (limited) clips black 17 and 18
Setting the Samsung to (low/limited) crushes the blacks when Intel HD Output is (full).
Fyi, MPC-HC/MadVR and VLC render black levels and Grayscale correctly with Intel HD Output (full) -> Samsung (full). GOM player has Grayscale banding like XBMC.
Cheers. I may go and sit in a corner and have a litte cry
