Yeah, what's holding the maket? Why wouldn't a graphics-oriented
company
like Apple Inc. long come up with a 10-12 bit video architecture?
I'm just guessing here, but perhaps it has something to do with getting
the hardware to respond in a meaningful way to the higher bit-depth.
Sure, it's easy to throw in a 12-bit LUT, but without the higher-end
and more expensive manufacturing methods, I wonder if a 12-bit LUT
would be any more effective than an 8-bit LUT. In other words, is the
physical response of typical monitors 12-bit addressable? I don't
really know either way--just putting the idea up for discussion...
