Yes, apologies. That is very much what I was referring to. In simple terms, I'm trying to figure out a way that I can develop work on a wide gamut or higher quality display and get an idea as to how much banding will show up on a lower quality commodity 6 bit TN panel. While I realize they state 24 bit displays, as everyone here knows, they are well under that. So given an ICC profile generated from a meter from a lower quality 6 bit TN panel, I am wondering if I can get a good idea as to how it will end up looking - given banding and like matters.
