Could someone explain to me what 8bit and 10bit are?

I was about to torrent some anime until I saw this two options:

You don't have a 10bit panel so it doesn't matter.

It is the color depth used when encoding the video. Using a 10bit color depth is more efficient even with 8bit content which is why they use it but there is no hardware decoding support for h264 10bit.

There's a PDF on this page as well to explain it in more detail.

it has to do with colors and in this case the codec and encoding efficiency.

10bit is more efficient , somewhere around 15-20% more efficient over 8bit

it's not some magic bullet that makes things look better, its all relative to the codec and your bitrate and your source material.

>yfw the 10bit encode is 2x larger than the 8bit encode in OP's post
someone really blew it.

You get less banding.
If you don't have a 10bit screen you're going to see banding even in this picture.

What bit can my monitor play? 8bit or 10bit?

Those aren't even the same series, right?

It could even come down to something like Stardust Crusaders being a grainy mess while the first one is degrained.

Probably 6bit tbh.

its not that it won't play it.
it just won't display those colors, but you honestly won't even notice, the color subtleties are so small its beyond what you can distinguish.

>>51012269
banding comes from the source material and low bitrates.
it's already compressed as fuck sometimes when its transmitted on air.
I haven't seen banding in anime in a long time already, way before 10bit was thing.
likely because as people got higher speed connections around the world people stopped making 75megabyte releases or some stupid 700megabyte hard limit on DIVX/XVID releases.

Just get the 8bit, you don't need fucking 10bit TV rips, they don't air in 10bit to begin with.

Hell even blurays are 8bit.
Downloading 10bit TV rips is like downloading MP3 to FLAC encodes.

Most panels on the market are 6/8bit unless you blow a bunch of cash for top end displays.
