I just ordered my Inspiron notebook from Dell. I am trying to look on the internetz to find out whether this model uses 8-bit panels or 6-bit panels with dithering. If anyone could give me info on this, that would be appreciated.
This looks like an article on dithering on that page.
"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Amongst the four monitors only one claims to have precise colors with the Eizo L887´s characteristics mentioning an internal 14 bit processing. We haven´t really successfully obtained details on this subject, because, in fact, the monitor only has an 8 bit input. After that there is a 14 bit interpolation that is probably more intelligent than just adding 6 zeros behind 8 bit values. For this the monitor has to process the image dithering, recalculate it and base this calculation on surrounding pixels to establish more accurate averages."
