How the hell we are still stuck in 32bit colour. where are 64bit and 128bit colour display

The human eye can't see past 32bit

*24bit with an 8bit alpha channel

So does the monitor become transparent?

>>58392048
No we're not. Visually we have up to 30-bit displays (10bpc), which is hard to distinguish visually and is there for technical reasons. computationally, we have up to 48-bit (16bpc) which is only needed to manipulate image data without artifacts, as there are more tones to choose from than are needed to display. Then we can even do floating point color for HDR where the sky's the limit.

64-bit can address more data than computers could fathomably use now and for the distant future, so it's pointless to talk about. It'll be in the works after hardware becomes a few orders of magnitude faster and as much more storage.

8 bits per component for output is _almost_ enough unless you want high dynamic range, which existing display technologies cannot deliver very well anyway. You can occasionally see banding in subtle gradients, but that can be fixed with a bit (pun intended) of dither.

Games and professional tools often use much higher bit depths internally and then map the image down to 24/32 bit for display.

There's no reason to have a 128-bit CPU unless your address space is bigger than 2^64. Arithmetic and floating point operations, it makes sense to have specialized register banks for high-precision arithmetic, but having a 128-bit CPU is a waste.

>Meanwhile 90% of monitors will have giant artifacted stripes if they try to display a simple gradient

There's usually a very specific combination of color, gamma and contrast settings where it doesn't do that and possibly won't even wash out bright grays or crush dark shades.

Most consumer electronics manufacturers seem to just cobble together whatever random shit they can find a supplier for in China, but would it bankrupt them to at least tune the electronics a bit before wrapping it in a creaky plastic case and throwing their now-branded generic shit at the consumers?

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
