			\| '''MS Windows only setting'''<br>Improves the video quality by using 10-bit video surfaces for Standard Dynamic Range video streams. <ref>https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/20014</ref>
			Available options:
			* ''Auto detect'' - Enables 10-bit for SDR only if the connected display supports HDR. It does not changes the current behavior where the 10-bit swapchain is used (also for SDR content) if an HDR display is detected. This indirectly ensures that Windows 10 or higher is being used and with more or less current video drivers.
			* ''Always'' - Enable the use of 10-bit swapchain regardless of whether or not there is an HDR display. It is the equivalent setting value that replaces advanced setting <code><try10bitoutput></try10bitoutput></code> advancedsettings.xml tag. It can also be used with Windows 8, etc. with DirectX feature level v11.0 and higher. It will not be activated effectively if the system does not support it in any way.
			* ''Never'' - Never enable 10-bit swapchain for SDR content. Users with an HDR display can use this option for testing purposes or if for some reason they do not want to use 10-bit for SDR content. Even with this setting, 10 bits will still be used when playing content in HDR pass-through mode.
			'''Note:''' HDR passthrough mode always uses 10-bit regardless of this setting<br>
			This setting replaces the advancedsettings.xml tag <code><try10bitoutput></try10bitoutput></code> which has been removed.
