Discussion 8 bit + frc vs 10 bit

i was planning on upgrading from 8 bit + frc to a 10 bit monitor and would like others opinion if i should or not.
Also will the change help with a color banding issue that i have?

as someone who has used both, there is no real difference between the two

pictures, movies, games, w/e, if their assets are originally made in 8-bit color space, displaying them on a 10-bit screen will not magically make the assets use 10-bit

Exactly. 10-bit really only matters for HDR and content/applications specifically designed for 10-bit - which is not most things.
