Meaning that it has at least 16 bit for each of R,G,B channels and can actually send them to the display device as opposed to 8 bit that consumer level cards have.

And to continue this question – what about display device ? My uneducated guess would be that regular CRT tube based monitor with analog input would actually display all that information. I don’t know enough about how LCD displays with digital inputs work to speculate about them.

As a conclusion – if such device exist, does PhotoShop support it ? Can it actually display 65,536 (or even 32,768) shades of R,G,B on the screen, not just use 16 bit per channel for the internal image repersentation and manipulation ?
