It would not be possible to have 24-bit grey scale where you have full resolution in grey levels. But there is another way of looking at it. If you drive the red, blue and green guns equally, you have a black and white picture. If you then strive for as much resolution as possible, you will have 256 levels. This is the same as you currently have on a "standard" black and white monitor. The other question is how much resolution do you need to stimulate the typical human eye. A short poll here suggested anywhere between eight and ten bits. There are ten bit DAC's available. Michael Sands system extension group (408) 974-6108 novice driver, just my thoughts
