To my knowledge, a monitor is an analogous device, that can potetially display _any number_ of intermediate shades of each primary colour. Isn't the RAMDAC (Digital-Analog Converter) the chip, that converts a digital value (i.e. a 10bit color value) into a voltage that ultimatly drives the intensity of each of the monitor's color guns? I cannot see a reason, why a color gun wouldn't respond to any intermediate voltage level. If it weren't driven by a RAMDAC of inherently limited resolution but a power supply capable of outputting a continuous voltage range... The delimiting factor, I agree, would be the human eye! I wonder, if it is capable of distinguishing between 1024 shades of a primary color?
