As I wrote yesterday (to Mark), you most certainly _can_ see the difference between 8 and 10 bits in certain classes of image. I'm not talking dynamic range, I'm talking contouring. I admit that it is next-to-impossible to see problems in most "natural imagery" but this is certainly not the case with synthetic images, nor is it the case with, all natural scenes. As for "no LCD screen can output this level of colour", this is also not correct, though you won't be able to buy such a Flat Panel at Best Buy or Circuit City (yet).
