Hi,

some monitor specs like the VX2055wm from viewsonic mention a color support as: 16.7M colours (6-bit+2-bit FRC). Now what is this?

These specs can easily confuse newbies like me. Cause if i am not wrong a TN panel can support a maximum of 16.2 m (6 bit) colors only and a true S-ips panel will support 16.7 m (8 bit) colors.

Now this is not an s-ips panel for sure and neither a TN panel (if i not wrong) but somewhere in between.

I read somewhere on the internet that this FRC thing was developed by some chinese person in order to achieve more color support.

can somebody shed some light on this.

regards - Sunil
 
Its a TN Panel.

Lately, were seeing a lot of TN Panels using a virtual 8bit. Giving you 16.7 Million colours.

Its nothing new, it is actually 16.7 Million colours, but the Colour and Vibrance is nowhere as good as SIPS Panels.

This is a new form of FRC (temporal "dithering") developed by Chi Mei Optoelectronics that makes up for the colors lost in conventional FRC (3 tones, (256-3)^3=16.2M). When a color value of 1 is requested, it is remapped to 0.25, 2 to 0.5, 3 to 0.75, and then 4-255 are created by the regular FRC method. The end result is 16.7M colors.
