[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 771515, member: 517"] You're confusing bit depth and colour gamut. Bit depth dictates the number of steps between black and white the display is capable of producing whereas colour gamut refers to the portion of the visible spectrum that the display covers. So when we talk about bit depth we're just talking about how many shades of grey a display can produce not the gamut (which can vary regardless of bit depth). The panel itself doesn't necessarily have to be 10 bit in order to produce a 10 bit greyscale, there are various ways to achieve this without the panel having the native capability. Plasmas for example were renowned for their colour reproduction, but some were only 4 bit natively. They could produce an 8 bit greyscale due to the multi-pass method they employed to render their images. Even if the actual panel isn't really 10 bit, if the TV operates in such a way as to produce a 10 bit greyscale then it can be said to be a 10 bit display. [/QUOTE]
