@Doctor M: Banding is different, if I remember correct banding is when you look at a gradient that's supposed to be smooth but it has sharp lines in it. Moth3r's issue is something else that is caused by the TV.

I'd say either the TV isn't calibrated or it just pushes some colors way too far in saturation and/or luminance. The reason you notice it more in this one is probably because of what I had to do to get the reds down to a sensible level. To balance them I had to use Selective Colour and it also darkened them a little bit, making them stick out here and there but there's no other or better way to do it without messing them up a lot.

That said, I know enough of this stuff to be 100% sure it's not in the source. The color correction on this one is done over several months and I've watched it so many times over and over and made small changes and corrected things. I'm working on a colorimeter-calibrated monitor as well as have a TV that's also calibrated with colorimeter for watching.

Here's how that shot looks on the BD:

If I brighten it to look like in your photo it looks like this: (Which isn't how it should look since it's a pretty dark shot)
