My experimentation suggests that Windows

this is achieved via dithering or not is a

precision can be achieved, it is still only in
the context of displaying 256 colors
simultaneously.
There must be some mixup here. 256 color limits
are many years back into history. All modern
monitors claim to be able to display 16 million
colors simultaneously.

Neither the graphics card nor the operating
system are involved in this. From their point
of view, there are actually 8 and 10 bits
respectively.
