Should 10 native bits of color be better than 8 native?

NotAlone

Hello, I am thinking about the perfect monitor nowadays and it comes to my mind if, regarding color depth, the only important detail is to not have FRC, independently than if it's 8 or 10.

8 bits has 16'5 milion color, while 10 bits has 1.07 bilion. Maybe having 10 native bits of depth color prevents the system to use any hidden/difficult to dissable dithering option, but on an old windows 7 a 8 native bits could be the same as 10? I don't know.

The curiositiy comes because not everything that is connected to a monitor/TV is a computer with Windows 11, which is mandatory to use with a 10 bits monitor. It can be a Playstation, a phone, media casted from another source, etc

What is your opinion?

Try to find dataflow inside monitor. And what bit depth data monitor send to panel inside itself

Theoretically a true 10 bit monitor should tame, if not stop TD all together, but beyond color reproduction, somewhere in the pipeline it still might be implemented for "pixel smoothing" to try and make pixels indistinguishable. Picture/Video processing has become a joke.

There's also a higher bit pipeline used in HDR like 12 bit color. When does the madness stop? I highly doubt I could tell the difference between 10 and 12 bit color.
