I'm missing the part about what awesome thing would be possible to do with higher-bit displays. The answer for higher-DPI displays is obvious: everything looks sharper, all the time. While it may be true that 30-bit color would allow the gradient between those two grays to be gradual instead of a single step, when does someone actually want to draw a gradient between such similar shades of gray?
- Keyframe 14y agoIt's not about gradients between gray shades. It's about more shades, which is useful in DTP, video and film, digital painting and so on. If you ever have a chance, take a look at a high quality picture or video on a display like Eizo CG275W (or newer like 276) connected to 30-bit output capable card (Quadros have it, GeForce don't). It's a whole level above what you see on regular monitors, even calibrated. OTOH, they are really expensive - I get by with calibrator and regular monitors.
