Imagine a gradient bar of red, green, or blue on a display. The latest displays show so many colors that the 256 shades in an 8-bits channel will show banding.
Banding is horrible for photo/video editing hence 10 bit displays that can show 1024 shades in a single channel which is more shades than our eyes can see.
HDR in gaming also uses 10-bit per channel, but it’s often a gimmick with current cheap gaming displays and might show banding even if there are technically 10-bits. OLED gaming monitors should be able to display 10-bit accurately though.
It’s useless if you don’t play games. 10-bit color depth. Most monitors and graphics cards support only 8-bit (per color). But high end ones, yeah, they do support 10-bit (HDR monitors).
The meme is not mine, stole it, but I did find it funny, even though I don’t play games.
EDIT: Whenever you see a meme from me, just presume it was stolen, lol. I rarely make my own.
What is 10 bpc color? I am a Low end user. So, Please tell me

Thanks for explanation

That one was already clear when you wrote “It’s useless if you don’t play games.” Actual media artists wouldn’t say that about higher color depth.
PS: Professional media production uses 16bits per color channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#48-bit
Probably useless 10bits depth per color?
