Here is where the 10bit tag shines. 10-bit depth allows for 1,024 shades per color channel instead of just 256. For The Accountant , this is a game-changer. The film is shot with a desaturated, moody palette. There are endless scenes of Wolff sitting in dimly lit motel rooms or fluorescent office spaces. With a standard 8-bit file, those backgrounds look like a broken ladder of grey blocks. With 10-bit, the gradient is smooth. You see the texture of the darkness.

Because the 10-bit depth solves the banding issues that plague streaming 4K versions (which are often heavily bitrate-starved). Here is where the 10bit tag shines
