Banding on output monitoring

Hi guys, I’m seeing lots of banding on my Sony EL Trimaster monitor. When I do a dissolve from black to a default generated gradient you can see an obvious stairstep. This is only noticeable on broadcast out via SDI to the Sony and HDMI to the OLEG. The video path is iMacpro -> BMD UtranStudio Mini -> SDI and HDMI monitors. The LG 4k UI is fine. I’ve also done the same test from Resolve and there is no banding (or at least the banding matches the UI). Any suggestions? Like
