LCD color processing and display queries.

[Nielo TM]

There’s think guy who think that LCD HDTVs are actually capable of displaying 10, 12, 14 and 16bit colors just because it says 12bit processing. He doesn’t get the fact that, information is obtained at 8bit from HDMI and converted to 12bit to increase colors color range (reduce dithering); then down sampled back to 8bit as consumer LCD are only capable of display max 8bit color and only the pro displays has the ability to display 10bit with gamma correction.



Could you please provide an answer that noobs can understand cos I simply can’t put it in simple terms.

thx
