Hi Florian…
Do you think I’d be better off setting my new 10 bit TV (and video card) to YcBcr 4:2:2 10 bit color for calibration\profiling purposes? Will it make any difference in quality compaired to 8 bit Full RGB? (Greater latitude to adjust color values maybe?) Or give me a better percentage of color REC 709 gamut coverage?
My understanding is that Windows only operates at 8 bit color so I’m a little confused about this…
Thanks. 🙂

Chroma subsampling has some drawbacks for picture elements that are supposed to have sharp, clearly delineated edges (like UI elements). It will not affect the gamut (although out-of-gamut colors can occur upon chroma reconstruction). See the Wikipedia article on chroma subsampling for details.
If you can, use 10 or 12 bit RGB instead of YCbCr.
Thanks…
Which is better if I don’t care about sharp text: 8 bit RGB Full or 10 bit YcBcr 4:2:2 Limited?
I don’t have 10 or 12 bit RGB as an option, only 8 bit full. (Nvidia 1070 videocard with a newer Sony 4K TV mostly used for photo editing).
Edit: Just had a thought. Maybe I have an RGB ‘limited’ option that allows for 10 bit… I’ll go check. 🙂

Try it and see if there’s a visible difference.
