Displays utilizing 8 bit technology, that degrades the image during the video elaboration phase, are able to visualize 256 colors levels for each of the three primary colors. This means that are able to visualize 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,8 millions colors in total. Our LED screens instead utilize 16 bit technology for each color that allows to manage the video without altering the quality in a perceptible way (so the human eye does not notice it). After this elaboration (called Gamma Correction) it is possible to visualize 65.536 colors levels for each of the three primary colors. This means that it is possible to visualize 65.536 x 65.536 x 65.536 = 280 trillion colors in total.
