How Colour Depth Affects Image Quality as Fast As Possible

COLOUR DEPTH (or lack thereof) is often the culprit when you find distracting visual anomalies in video content, but because RESOLUTION gets marketed so heavily, while higher bitrates and better colour depth DON'T many people aren't aware of the issue!

Linus, you're such a cool guy. You rarely mess up in speech, you entertain the audience so well with your consistent (but not overdone) gestures, you're not monotone in your speaking, and you can crack a joke or two if needed.
Video editor, keep it up, you're in-sync and that what matters.

9/10 channel but just wanted to put in my two cents after watching so many of these.

Youtube recommendation algorithm is doing its thing again i see.

[SioTisfy]

You should have used 50 Shades of Grey for the 2 bit segway.

[erinwalker]

What perfect timing. My video stopped loading as soon as Linus says, "Challenges include: Internet Bandwidth."

[N-VAMusic]

Am I the only one seriously creeped out by that

This is why on torrent sites, we who know the importance of bitrate laugh at the people complaining about a 1080p video's filesize. _"This upload sucks. There's the same upload here that's also 1080p but 5x smaller"._

And then the people who torrent uncompressed BDMVs laugh at us.

There are two forms of 8-bit color graphics. The most common uses a separate palette of 256 colors, where each of the 256 entries in the palette map is given red, green, and blue values. In most color maps, each color is usually chosen from a palette of 16, 777, 216 colors (24 bits: 8 red, 8 green, 8 blue)

I really liked the way you play around with the image as you're describing the terms, really effective.

[triynizzles]

this video about to pop off with that 16 bit, 8bit, 4bit ... meme.

Great work on the video Linus and the team! 
A suggestion for the next as Fast as Possible would be the controversy between the "fact" that our eye can only see 30 FPS so more than that is overkill?
Thanks and keep up the great work :)

0:34 nice compositing touch when his hand overlaps *maybe* at the right bottom, good job.

[BrutalRandon]

0:30 to 0:40 is all I needed from this video

Tech quickie idea: "monitor calibration". It's way more important than 10bit vs 8bit. I can guarantee a lot of viewers didn't even see your blocky background at 1:23. I wasn't even aware this was an issue until I had a discussion a with a website designer on why something wasn't differently shaded on my screen and even sent him screen shots of it not being shaded ... oh the irony.

[JasonMilner]

Thanks. As a future video idea, it might be handy to go into a little more detail on the differences and use cases for higher colour depths (16 bit vs 24 bit vs 32 bit).

Youtube do be finding the right time to recommend this.

[KenAnger]

I would like an episode where you explain the differences in monitor/tv technology and what to look for when purchasing one. Right now all I know is higher resolution is better and IPS is supposed to be better than TN. (forgive me if there is one already)

[Althemor]

2 Bit actually look surprisingly good. I guess at higher spatial resolution the density of grey dots can provide the illusion of even more shade.

[Usmanmalik]

Its very rare for me to comment on feeds!!! ....But I just had to say this guy in the video is ... AMAZING ... In front of the camera!! His humour, delivery, flow, likeabillity is unbelievable!!!! I cant remember the last time someone was this “ on point “.. He truly has a gift !

I love this channel.  I've been into new technology my whole life, and i've learned more on this channel in about a half dozen videos than i have in like a year lol.
