Photoshop with 8Bit monitor possible?

I would like to make a Photoshop course on the Adobe side with the system requirements "Screen resolution 1024 x 768 point (1280 x 800 point recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB or more VRAM, 2 GB recommended"

What irritates me is the 16-bit color. My monitor (if I go to display settings) has only 8 bits, with the Intel graphics card is something of 32-bit True Color.

Can't I use Photoshop with my laptop monitor?

Maybe someone knows that, I would be very happy.

I doubt your monitor has only 8bit, because 8bit would be 256 colors.

The annoying thing is that I bought my laptop only at the beginning of last year, unfortunately I did not pay attention to the "monitor quality"…

What do the 8 bits then say, which I find under the display settings of the monitor (the information is not changeable by the way)?

Here you bring some information together.

8 bits in your monitor refers to the values per color channel. Which is perfectly normal. 10-bit panels can only be found in professional monitors. You have R, G, B, each with 8bit on a 8bit panel, so your monitor meets the requirements and represents (although probably internally with dithering, but still) 24bit color depth.

The 16-bit color is formulated by Adobe somewhat hampered and related to the graphics card, and since you use Intel's built-in GPU, you're on safer side anyway, because there was not even in the days of the old-fashioned 16-bit graphics adapter anno 1990.

So do not worry, your device meets the requirements. X]
