    Windows 10 display color depth stuck at 8-bit


    Hi,I am having problems with my display on windows 10. I have Asus zenbook 14 and I have just bought it less than 2 years ago. I noticed a while ago, that the display image, appear grainy and are not as smooth as needed. So I checked the advanced display properties, I saw that the color depth is at 8-bit. When I tried to change it as in the second photo attached it seems that the changes are applied, but still remains at 8-bit on the advanced display settings window, and the image quality is still low. Moreover, I have an external Graphics card, Nvidia Geforce MX250, I have tried to manage t

    Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

    Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value



    1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
    2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
    3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
      Output color depth.
    4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.

    Color Bit Depth is Stuck at 8 bit - Display adapter mode says 32 bit

    Build 17.rs_prerelease677.180520-0940 is my current release. There was an update that failed and changes were rolled back.

    In Settings:

    Now in the Windows Display settings says "Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (recommended)"

    Click on "Advanced Settings" Both monitors say "Bit depth: 8-bit"

    Click "Display adapter properties (either monitor)"

    AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series Properties opens.

    Click "List all modes"

    "1920 by 1080, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz" is selected!

    The Display, Desktop, Photos, Movies are in 8-bit 256 Color mode and look really bad!

    How to fix this?

    Windows has problems responding at times.

    I rolled the Display driver back to a previous release... Had to reset the computer because it froze.

    On reboot it is on the rolled-back driver level, but still wrong.

    Windows 10 display color depth stuck at 8-bit

    CCC display color depth setting (bpc)?

    Why would CCC even have a "default" color depth vs detecting your display's color depth? Doesn't make sense. And as I stated, I'm willing to bet mine is just 8. Being IPS doesn't automatically mean a display is 10 bit.

    As I also stated, I've seen posts from people saying they couldn't change it to 10 when CCC first had 10 support, because it was greyed out. I see 8, 10, and 12 options, and none of them are greyed out.
