Thanks that does seem to be an old EDID v1.3 with no defined bit depth.
But there are some vendor-specific blocks there that do advertise
support for 10bpc and 12bpc.
In this case I think it's correct to try and default to 10bpc or 12bpc.
It's probably only the cable or dongle letting it down. I wonder if such
limited cable bandwidth is something we can detect in software?...
Imagine (or please test) what a newer monitor with an EDID v1.4 would
do. If that reported more definite support for 10bpc then it would be
even more correct to try and default to 10bpc. But we would also need
more intelligent logic (somewhere) that detects when the desired
bandwidth isn't being achieved due to cable or dongle problems.
