: This refers to the color depth. Traditional video uses 8-bit color, which displays roughly 16.7 million colors. A 10-bit depth supports over 1 billion colors, significantly reducing color banding in dark gradients and shadows—a critical feature for a dark, atmospheric show like From .
: The video codec used. High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), or x265, compresses video far more efficiently than older formats, allowing for pristine visual quality at a fraction of the file size.
