Is my S2716DG Faulty? (Banding)

Hello,

I have recently purchased a S2716DG AO7 Revision. It came with horrible banding issues, which I thought were heavily toned down in this revision. I'm on a 980 ti. I have tried various fixes, but none seem to work. I know it's a TN Panel, but I'm wondering if the banding is supposed to be this bad, or it's a problem with the monitor.

Below are some pictures, while I tried to watch a video or used a dark image. This problem only seems to pop up with dark gradients and i'm wondering if I should try to get another one, or the monitor is simply like this.

* A07 is the newest version I have seen reported? What is the non-private 20 digit serial number
* At what Hz is the S2716DG set?
* If connected to the DP in port, did you test all Hz? (2560x1440 60Hz/85Hz/100Hz/120Hz/144Hz)
* If set to 144Hz, did you also enable G-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel?
* What PC model?
* What video card?
* What video out ports are on the video card to test on the S2716DG DP and HDMI in ports?
* How is the S2716DG currently connected to the video card using what port and cable?
* Reset the S2716DG to Factory Defaults, page 34
* Post pictures of the S2716DG stand alone BID (Built-in Diagnostics) colored screens, page 40

* The GTX 980 Ti was released over 2 1/2 years ago. Is there a newer video card to test on?
