Possible to add "VESA DSC" through firmware update?

Is DSC a software or hardware thing?

 

A friend wants to buy a 38GN950-B but i've read it doesn't support 160Hz 10bit color without chroma subsampling. I've been thinking: Is it possible, LG will add it through a firmware update later on?

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Most likely not if it wasn't advertised to be coming when the product launched. Regardless of technical feasibility companies typically don't just give you freebies that improve on the original specs like that.

 

Technically it almost certainly needs hardware support.

There has to be hardware support in the chip that decodes the digital signal from your video card. 

It is possible for a chip to have that functionality but the firmware didn't implement it yet, but often it's not implemented because it's buggy or something like that, requiring a new hardware revision of the chip to work right.
