When Will an 8 to 10 bit driver come out? Even the Microsoft generic driver gives 8-bit.

You need to use ONLY the drivers from DELL for your laptop. Contact Dell for support on this issue.

I had gone back to OEM drivers which are still 6-bit depth, to which I got frustrated with again after uninstalling drivers, restarting the computer so it refreshes as the base windows graphics driver, which even supports 8-bit depth.​

Proceeded to install the latest drivers again, still 6-bit.​

Hello MMcMa4, The standard color depth that Windows* uses is 8-bit. In some applications, the color depth will change automatically depending on the content being displayed. Also, the driver will automatically switch to 10-bit when: a) It detects a Display that is 10-bit capable and b) A Full Screen DirectX* application that is 10-bit is launched. Which applications are you having issues with? If possible, please attach pictures showing the problems you are receiving. Wanner G.
