IMO it does. I can see banding in your screen shots. Look at the blue background in the PS store and RR7 as well as the purple wall in Monsters, inc.. Loads of horizontal banding that isn't a result of the brushed metal theme or intended look. Examine the test images I gave you from a few inches away from the screen. You will see horizontal bands about 3cm apart on the sceeen. The image should be completely pure with no breaks. If you have the Ice Age Blu-ray you should be able to pick it out in some scenes as well.
