>We had 32bit CRTs 25 years ago already>modern LCDs are still at 8 and 10bit
6 actually + dithering
>>107820309they still make 6 + FRC displays?
>>10782026316 million to 1 billion colors is generally seen as enough.
>>107820263Oh, I just realized that OP doesn't realize that the 32bit was 8 bits per channel, which is what the LCD bits are referencing.
>>107820371>generally
>>1078202631 million colors is more than enough for anyone.
>>107820263Keep complaining we'll return to Silver Age Comic standards of 64 colors max.
>>107820418I'll manage with 16
>>107820263I still have my CRT with max vertical frequency of 160Hz. Although, I only use it for Quake and CS 1.6
>>107820418>Silver AgeDripping with soul and legitimacy. Regardless of color palette limitations.>The smell of the pagesnothing can compare though
>>107820263There is truly no such thing as 32bit color, it was just 24bit color with an extra byte of wasted padding. 32bit color only existed for performance reasons.
>>1078208724th byte is for alpha
>>10782026312bpc monitors exist, they are expensive
>we had some old trash that no one wants to use anymorewow, thanks for the thread
>>107820907I'm glad you approve, Technology Overlord.
>>107820899Really? I thought actual panels go up to 10-bit only.
>>107820263You're confusing bit-depth with bits per channel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depthMost VGA video cards you used CRTs with only had 8-bit DACs, only some professional GPUs had 10-bit DACs.
>>107820993if the product page is to be believed https://www.craltech.com/Broadcast-12G-Monitors-240B
>>107820263nobody needs more than 256 colors
>>107821002Many consumer displays accept 12-bit input too but it's processed onboard and still displayed as 10-bit.
>>107821002>>107821013Not saying youre wrong, just adding. Actually wondering if it's a real 12-bit display.
>>107821013>>107821016I have a 10bit panel but can use 12bit too
>>107820881Alpha does not exist for the frame buffer.
>>107821016My display can do 16bpc, I am pretty sure this depends on the LUT, because as it happens I know mine has a 48 bit LUT.
>>107820263Idiot
>>107821016Not a single person on here couls afford a true 12 but panel
>>107821046What monitor?
>>107820832>max vertical frequency of 160HzWhat is the max horizontal frequency?
>>107820371>16 million to 1 billion>enoughYou mind telling Saltman that?
>>107821143
8 bit is enough if you do your graphics in a higher bit depth and then add dithering that changes every frame when converting from linear to sRGB. It adds a kino grain.
>>107820263crts dont actually have an upper limit for bit depth , they have a limited range., but the number of steps within that range is basically infinite since its analog, if you have a dac capable of 10 or 12 bits per channel, it can display it just fine, though there are few that do, i think maybe the only cards to support that are ancient ati firepros , quadros .from the early 2000s>>107821035depends on the hardware, i think most modern hardware supports alpha certain hardware planes for compositing
>>107821242CS launch options still allow for -freq if using a CRTGranted goldsrc engine only recognizes 100fps. I still utilize >-freq 120 with vsync on, for proton pack like zero recoil, legitimately. If I'm using an LCD, I use the>refresh 75launch option with vsync off. Graphically it's rougher, but my recoil is close to playing on the CRT that way. Close, being a conceit.
>>107820832>>107821801>>frequency of 160Hz*>*at 480p
>>107820872>for performance reasonsAlways though it was insane they couldn't implement this is hardware.Pretty sure every horizontal resolution is dividable by 4?So why not just grab "words" of 96 bits and map them to 4 pixels in hardware?
>>107821846I use 640 X 480 in CS 1.6
>>10782191732bit color benefits the cpu. Cpus don't have a 24bit mov instruction.
CRTs are analog and don't have bit depth
>>107821993>32bit color benefits the cpuThat's why I use 10 bits for each channel plus an extra two for the green one lmao. And I replace sRGB's pseudo-gamma with a gamma of 2.0 to simplemaxx the math.
>>107820376shit we have 4 channels now
>>107821002>>107821013>>10782101612-bit processing for 10-bit panel. Scam product. Gonna report them to the EU.
>>107820449That looks soul af
>>107823260Except it literally says "12-bit processing" not "12-bit panel".Literally same as >>107821021
>>107820449Just noticed the 4chan thread in the image
>>107823305retard
