Gyrre:
Wait, some of you all didn't see the lil'beef pic at first? I saw it just fine on my cellphone and my monitor.

--- Quote from: Gus_Smedstad on 17 Jun 2021, 21:11 ---My personal, idiosyncratic one involves a dry mouth. If I'm a bit dehydrated at night, my mouth feels a certain way. My sleeping brain interprets that feeling, and I dream that my mouth is full of gum. I'll pull the gum out of my mouth, and it's still full of gum. It never ends. It's not anything like what gum is like in the real world, and I've chewed gum just to remind myself of that, but my subconscious doesn't get the message. It's still dreams about gum.

Thank you for this, as it explains a similar recurring dream experience for me. Though often for me, the things I'm pulling out of my mouth are sharp. Like, "Hey, let me just get this endless supply of glass shards out of my mouth real quick." I have not tried to correct my brain on what that would *actually* feel like, though.

That might (partially) explain the dream I had where I bit a chunk out of my cell phone.

Woah, didn't see that either. I thought it was some dirt on my monitor (which really is a little dirty). Thanks for the info.  :-o

So, the standard for color nowadays is 8 bits per channel - red, green, and blue - for 24 bits total (plus another 8 for alpha channel, but that isn't relevant here).

Most TN panels are 6 bit. This essentially means that the last two bits are lost, so fine color detail is lost. Modern TN panels sometimes have "FRC", or "temporal dithering", that tries to flicker the image between two values to recover the last two bits of information (as the display has the info, it just isn't able to use it normally).

Conversely, most IPS panels are 8 bit, and some are 10 bit (note that if you don't have 10-bit content, 10-bit panels' extra capability is wasted.

Also, why looking at a TN panel from below helps with viewing this: TN panels suffer from severe color shift when looking at them not straight on. There's films that can be, and are, applied to improve viewing angles, but it typically works best to optimize for left, right, and looking at the panel from above (at least for PC monitors), with no improvement for looking at the panel from below. (Note that some panels are used in a way that you optimize looking at them from below, so looking at it from above would cause the same effect.) That severe color shift is what's revealing the background.
