In V8 I did a few tests rendering some MPEG2 files out using both the 8bit and 32bit colour templates and found that the 32bit files were quite noticably more "washed out" and dull than the 8bit files, particularly the black which showed up as a really dark grey..... I would have thought the reverse to be true but the 8bit actually looked much better. To verify this i authored both in DVDA and played the disc on a variety of both CRT and Plasma screens and found the result the same. So, why? My impression of 32bit is that the colour depth should be, well, deeper.........
FWIW, my dual monitors are calibrated using Pantone Huey Pro.
