I recently purchased the BM320 and so far I love the monitor. Are there any windows 10 64 bit drivers for this monitor? I saw drivers for win 8 and 7 but not 10.

    normally windows 10 doesn't need a specific monitor drivers, since it will read the EDID from the monitor.

    Ahh. Thats good to know. This monitor is probably one of the best I've used. I just wish it weren't so expensive.

    Another question. It says that my monitor supports 10 bit color depth, but when I try to enable that in the Radeon software settings I only see 8 bit color depth. Does anyone know why that is?

    I have a Radeon RX580

    check if you already have the latest Radeon drivers.

    Yup. I have the latest Radeon Drivers. I wonder if it has anything to do with HDMI vs. Display port.

    Yeah. Its the displayport. I found an article from last year regarding Radeon graphics cards. Apparently, 10 bit is only supported on displayport while the max bit for hdmi is 8. 

    I purchased a displayport cable and everything is fine now.

    Just got a BM320 monitor and it's supposed to be native 10bit. But mine will only display 8bit, using DP and GTX980, Win10 and latest drivers. Any advice on how to get 10bit?
