Title: 6 bit TFT test
Post by: Norphy on April 20, 2006, 10:35:26 AM

A fair old while ago in the old plaice someone posted a link to a bitmap which was a test for 6 bit per colour TFTs. It rendered properly on CRTs and 8 bit per colour panels but got really obviously dithered on 6 bit panels. Can anyone remember the link?

Cheers,

Youre not looking for blocks, you are looking for a dithering effect so rather than a smooth gradient that you would see on a monitor you see a sort of banding effect.

no dithering on my monitor either... well its close.

I think there may be dithering, but its inbetween a trick of the light and dust on my monitor.
