    Just think to get a fully 30bit display @ $2000 with a 30bit capable GPU $1000-$1800

    Your looking at $3000-$3800 plus shipping and tax, to get the upper hand on color control. That's some serious dough to drop to get the top color control.

    I remember hearing once that even though the human eye can only see 10million colors; the more accurate the display the more likely we are to see the color as it is intended. Rather then as an interpretation of the color, reinterpreted by our eyes.

    Print shops, ad agencies, graphic designers, take note.

    This would have been pure gold when I was a production manager at a print shop.

    Yes, for a print shop, this is going to make a world of difference. This actually brings 10-bit in an affordable realm - from a business standpoint.

    Do they say how diplaying 30-bit color depth in Adobe Photoshop is achived? Because its a little bit weird. Convert whole PS application to display 30-bit requires reprogramming all the display routines and lot of other works. Adobe itself claims that even Photoshop CS5 will not yet support 30-bit viewing.

    Also there is lot of other LCD displays with DisplayPort which are capable to show real 30-bit content. For example Eizo SX2462W etc.

    I failed trying to download PDF documentation from ATI site :-(((
