Hm, apparently not. The tech specs are saying that "HDMI Deep Color" isn't supported. But where's the logic in putting a 10 bit panel into a tv set which isn't able to receive 10 bit color information?

Also make sure your video card can output 10(30) bit color. I did a quick search but I am still not sure how well this is supported currently.
I think my card should be able to do so. I have a HD6870, and there the tech specs are saying something about "Deep Color".

I don't think you would be able to tell the difference between a full 10-bit color depth and MadVR dithering down to 8-bit for display but I could be wrong.
So if I'm using madVR the video will automatically be dithered down to 8-bit, regardless if my hardware is supporting 10 bit or not?
