I was always wandering, why there is a need for so many colours for monitors.. unless you are in business of counterfeit notes or paintings.
Is human eye capable of seeing the difference between 16 or 160 millions and 16000 millions of colours? Can anyone see the difference between two adjacent colours?
There are colours in nature which can not be reproduced with tricolour technologies anyway.. so is this really an issue ?
EDIT:
Or is this all about individual perception ( in terms of something like this "I feel this monitor is better" but this can not be measured or quantified exactly, but it must be better because it is more expensive..
)
Because, all those things with eyesight are very relative.. they are nothing like "absolute hearing" some rare individuals are blessed with. Eyesight performance/perception varies over short time scale (minutes), environment illumination, age, it depends on blood pressure, even on how much coffee or alcohol the individual consumed in the past half an hour). I do not know....
