A pixel takes more than 1 bit to store, too

  on a video card? I'm not sure that is true wrt to the geometry and charge.
  • op00to 3y ago
    yes. common bit depths to represent pixels range up to 64-bits.

      But the physical space?
      • op00to 3y ago
        3840 × 2160 Total number of pixels = 8,294,400 log2(8,294,400) ≈ 23 (each additional bit doubles the number of unique addresses that can be represented) so 24 bits are the minimum required to locate a point in 2-d space at the resolution of "4k". when you add in color, 60 bits per pixel. 19 bits for 640x480.

          Is it possible to think of something as a quarter bit with rgba

            Can you explain what you mean?
