Mostly a marketing gimmick but...look at the 10-bit gradient. If it's not perfectly smooth, you're not using a 1+ billion color monitor. For example, on my 8-bit TN panel, the monitor obviously struggles in the blue-cyan range because I can see steps in the gradient (the monitor is rounding those colors to the nearest color it can produce). The rest of it looks smooth.
I don't know about you guys but it looks similar to MSI monitors in terms of design front&rear. The question is who are their supplier for the panel itself, the MSI monitor I'm using I believe has a samsung panel.
Funny, on my 6-bit + A-FRC monitor the two hue stripes should look the same... but they are not!!!
Does it mean I can see 10-bit on my monitor? Holy baloney!!!
Go into Photoshop, and create a gradient grayscale, and make it go from one side of your monitor to the other, you will quickly see that 256 shades of grey are incredibly obvious to see... If not, then your suffering from Error #40
Depends on how large the screen is and what resolution the width is at. The eyes are pretty good at picking up patterns but the pattern has to be clear enough to do so. If the screen is 4" across and 512 pixels wide, there's a good chance the gradient will look smooth (2 pixels per color). If the screen is 3840 pixels wide and 30" across (15 pixels per color), the bands will be obvious.

With a decent monitor that represent all the gradients, you won't see banding even if the band is 100px each, because your eye/brain can't pick the small change in the 2 consecutive color gradients. Try zooming on the gradient I posted and you'll see what I mean... only if you have a decent monitor.
I can see all kinds of banding in that, especially in the dark grays. Grays are difficult (especially for a TN panel like mine) to produce because it's directly related to backlight brightness and bleeding.
The reason why 10-bit/HDR is good is because there's 1024 shades of gray instead of 256. Even on a 4K screen, that's less than 4 pixels wide for each shade.
Here's an 8-bit lossless picture with two neighboring shades of gray on it (128,128,128 & 129,129,129). I can spot where it changes, can you?

With a 10-bit picture and monitor, the shade difference would be 4 times smaller.

Sure, I can see it, but you have to look for it. Probably if you show that to someone without telling that there are 2 different shades, they won't notice, for sure not at first glance.
They talk about them every year. At the price they are trying to ask, it's an DOA product. We are supposedly getting HDMI2.1 OLEDs from LG this year, 4k@120Hz and everything.
