@Tim Sutton - not a misprint, that's 2^30, i.e. the number of discreet colours available on a panel with 30 bits per pixel (10 bits each for red, green and blue). Whether the technology is precise enough for the least significant couple of bits to actually affect output and be distinguished from the noise floor is moot, given it is generally accepted that the human eye struggles to differentiate beyond about 256 shades (8 bits per channel).
Thanks for that, extremely clear :-) To a large degree my surprise was down to the fact that the 31" panel quotes 'only' 16m colours, suggesting the smaller panel is technically superior.
Does this suggest that the processing hardware is already at the limit handling 30 bpp (bits per pixel) at a size of 14"? Or is my extremely limited technical understanding way off?
@Tim: HP makes a 30-bit 1920x1200 screen that can be run off a normal graphics card so it's definitely possible to do, but I don't know how intensive the typical TV processing would be for FHD and 30-bits.
@ilovethemonkeyhead: Banding is a software issue not a hardware one isn't it?
I can't wait for mainstream OLED hopefully one day all TVs will be 'developed as maximising the ultra-advantages'. Make it happen Samsung!
