Is 6 bit is the default color depth of the monitor? (Predator Helios 300 PH315-51)

why it only shows 6-bit. Is there any way to change it?

I never saw 6 bit, ever! Its either 16 or 32. Your post is the first one I ever saw this.

That is normal. It means that you have an SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and not HDR (High Dynamic Range) display. SDRs have a 6-bit color depth (i.e. bits used per color) instead of 8 or 10 bits used per color in HDR displays.

This is different from the desktop color depth with can be 16, 24, or 32 bits and covers not just a single color but the whole color spectrum the computer can display.
