Looking for a New Monitor
The Dell U2713HM and the U2713 both uses true 8-bit panel yes.
Response time, is a B.S measurement. I explain it here why it is the case: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/27813-acer-s235hlbbmii/?p=357440
More colors is always awesome to have... but in reality useless if you don't need it.
100% of content most people interact here on this forum is encoded in 8-bit colors. So, 16.7 million colors. Therefore, you don't get to enjoy 10-bit colors.
The U2713 is more focused on "color work" or if you prefer: photo editors, illustrator, artists, and so on, that can't afford or don't need a true professional grade monitor. It's fine for gaming, but it overshoots sometimes, which might be annoying on strongly contrasted colors, like a plane in black passing through a light blue sky. The other monitor doesn't have this problem. The backlight of the U2713H is better. It uses GB-LED backlighht, which is green and blue LED's put very close together with a layer of red phosphor to output a white light. The result is a nice white light, on the wide gamut spectrum, much like hig-grade CFL back light monitor, another costly backlight technology.
Each backlight technology in a nut shell:
-> Low grade/Standard CFL: Yellow/red'ish white to a warm white, depending on the grade. Consumes too much power, and cost more than White LED.
-> High-grade CFL: Near perfect white -> costly
-> White-LED: inexpensive, outputs a cold white or blu'ish white depending on the grade of the LEDs.
-> GB-LED: Costly. Outputs a hint green'ish white light.
-> RGB-LED: Very costly -> perfect white, where the backlight Red, Green, and Blue color intensity are adjustable.
