Re: Does FCP degrade 10 bit files/clips?

I am unfamiliar with the HD Link, but i know in the similar AJA device (HDP2, which I have and use daily) you specifically have to select "Deep Color", which in HDMI terms is 10 bit (or sometimes referred to as 30bit) color. It is hard to know if that NEC monitor accepts 10bit over display port, it should, but you never know. When you get in to monitors like these, corners can be cut to save costs, even though the specs are inflated. You would have to test and see.
