True... I always knew that... gamut is the extremes of representable colors whereas bit depth is the number of representable colors within said gamut. My question is, if one is only using a mac and not dual booting, would one not get similar results (assuming the gamut coverage is the same) with an 8-bit per channel display?

Since OS X does not, to the best of my knowledge, support 30-bits what might be the benefits of using an NEC PA272w or the like if the resultant gamut is restricted to 24 bits? Is it the bump in internal accuracy of the 14 bits per channel LUT that lets it make sense to buy or is there something else I'm not understanding?
