I am looking for a good 10bit DAC videocard. I am trying to display more shades of gray than my current 8bit videocard. Does anyone has a suggestion about a good and inexpensive 10bit videocard. I am new to this area so any feedback would help. Sincerely, Elios ---

Another approach for achieving a finer grain of contrast that you might want to consider is using a bit-stealing scheme. Depending on your stimulus and apparatus this might be a good solution.
