increasing the color bit-depths by 2 bits per subpixel, i.e., from 8-bit to 10-bit subpixels and from 10-bit to 12-bit subpixels, will increase the total quantity of reproduced discrete colors by a factor of 64 times. Hence, a 10-bit display panel is capable of reproducing 64 times the quantity of colors reproduced by an ordinary 8-bit LCD panel. All things being equal this will provide much smoother transitions between adjacent discrete colors and a much better representation of the colors we experience in day-to-day life, and therefore a more realistic video image.
