Are some 6-bit LCD's better at color than others ? And if I buy a 8-bit panel which is really much more expensive, is the color richness that much better than the 6-bit ?<BR><BR>Thanks.

For example, 8-bit color and 24-bit color often mean the same thing (see table below). The 8-bits refers to each red, green and blue subpixel, while 24-bit means all three.

Color in consumer digital video is typically recorded at a bit depth of 8 bits, with chroma subsampling measured at what’s called 4:2:0.

If you increase the color depth, or "bit depth," to 10-bit, then each primary color has 1,024 shades, which results in 1.07 billion possible combinations.

Here, the limited color depth of 8-bit video can really show up, and many videographers would say that there’s no point shooting in log if you’re not capturing 10-bit video.

The 10-bit color output enables 1024 gradations per color channel, a significant increase from 256 with 8-bit depth on previous iMacs. 30 bit pixel depth — 10 bit for each RGB color (Image ...

The display I settled on (the BenQ EW3280) claims 10 bit color depth, but only by using 8 bit + dithering, so I guess it's a moo point. If something goes horribly wrong I'll report back here.

Recent games like 'Shovel Knight' and 'Undertale' fall into the "8-bit" style of modern games, but they're only 8-bit in appearance, not in soul. The 8-bit aesthetic was born out of necessity, not ...
