I'm currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?

It's an exaggerated example to demonstrate the concept of banding more clearly, not a technical breakdown.

Then it should be marked as such. It's highly misleading to anyone who doesn't know better. Again, you're demonstrating the difference between 5-bit and 8-bit color, not the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color.

The purpose of the comment is to demonstrate banding. The only reason I marked it in bits is to show how banding can be reduced in video encodes by increasing the bit depth, not the specifics depths itself, it's not a technical write-up.
