Technical monitor colour mystery
Go to solution
Solved by Stahlmann,
It's not a native 10 bit panel. It's an 8 bit panel that uses dithering (FRC) to emulate 10 bit.
If you set it to 8 bit in your driver settings, it'll do 8 bit and your GPU will apply dithering, so it's basically 8 bit + FRC.
If you set it to 10 bit, the monitor will do the dithering and you'll get 8 bit + FRC.
Keep in mind that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. 8 bit + FRC can look as good or better than native 10 bit without dithering. The results still varies from each monitor to the next.
For example my LG C2 is a real native 10 bit panel. Still, gradient handling is superior when i use it at 8 bit + FRC.
