10-bits might help a little with banding maybe.
Is there any reason not to set --profile main10 in x265? Most of latest years GPU:s supports 10-bit H.265-decoding partially or fully.

One big reason for me is that comparing 10-bit encodes is a lot harder, since different setups can use very different conversion methods. Something that gets a nice dither on one platform might get banding due to truncation on another. Sticking to 8-bit reduces
Also, I wanted to be able to compare 8-bit only codecs.
I'd love to do a HDR-10 test as a followup. I've not found good HDR test content with an appropriate license yet, though.

EDIT: OK, thanks Blue_MiSfit, although watching video at this high resolution on an Android phone (small screen) is just wasteful.

Yeah, this is really meant for bigger screens. A 250-500 Kbps SD version would an interesting followup test. Among other things, it would make getting an AV1 encode a lot more feasible.
