Indeed, but as Andrew said, like with the D800, they can tell you all they want that it's clean 4:2:2 10 bits from the HDMI, but if it's just 4:2:0 8bits, "rewrapped" in a 4:2:2 10 bits signal, it doesn't matter, it's just the same "crappy" signal in a beautiful box ;) but they get to tell you that it's great, cause they're not actually lying...
Hey, many thanks for answering, my question was more something like: As anyone, the actual display i'm looking at right now (99% of us are not on10bits Eizo or FSI displays I guess) is 8 bits, How can i possibly, on an 8bits display, perceive 14 bits color gradation. I get that the video itself contains the information, but if the display is 8 bits... i only see 8 bits color right ? Just as if it were black and white, i wouldn't see color, no matter what.
I know it's tricky and i guess there is something i'm misunderstanding... That's why i'm asking, so i can understand fully this, and maybe at some point give the answer to someone asking the same thing.
Or, were you saying that an 8 bits display is not the same thing actually more colors than 8 bits video ? it's alway 8 bits per channel no ?
