My first thought was that the 1 billion color monitors were wide gamut,
but I've run into some 4k monitors that claim that color depth but also
stated that they are sRGB. The Dell P2415Q for instance. It may be
sloppy ad copy but even the Dell site only list 99% of sRGB as the spec.
I think it the number of colors is more a reflection of whether it is an
8 bit or putative 10 bit system. Which keeps going back to the
observation that the specs as presented are of limited value.
I appreciate you sharing your observed differences between the wide
gamut monitor and standard. That's good information. It is hard to sort
out what specs are meaningful.

The billion-color (i.e. wide gamut) monitor is going to be Adobe RGB, not sRGB.
A wide-gamut (Adobe RGB) monitor will display, for example, different
shades of red that an sRGB monitor will show as being the same. The
difference can be striking.
I can't tell you anything about Winblows, except that Exploder
displays sRGB no matter what the original gamut is. Safari and (I
think) Firefox and Chrome are "color space aware."
