I can't find any details on the Crossover, but the Achieva is an 8bit panel with FRC to attain effective 10-bit. It's not true 10 and I wouldn't recommend using it in a professional setting (benchmark being a true 10bit panel with usually 12 bit processing such as Flanders Scientific http://www.flandersscientific.com/index/cm171.php).

And while NVIDIA does output 10bit on GeForce, it's limited to

> full screen Direct X surface

which means no OpenGL (a must with pro apps). I suppose it might be possible to use a DirectX decoder in your video player to output 10bit video but I haven't heard anyone doing it or tried myself.

All that said, I was originally talking about consumer facing 10bit, so the monitors are probably a valid point. As someone who cares about color reproduction, I hope to see more of that - especially as we move towards rec2020.
