There Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 So, basically, there are 256x256x256 = 16,777,216 different colors that a single pixel can display. On a 1920x1080 monitor, you have 2,073,600 pixels. So, there are 34,789,235,097,600 different pixel color combinations your screen can display, right? Does this mean that it would be possible to store a 1080p picture in just 14 digits? It would obviously be pretty complicated to decompress (I guess it was compressed) this image, but would it be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4th Harbringer Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 A single pixel would be 24 bits of data, so 2^24, or 16,777,216 combinations On a 1920x1080 monitor, you have 2,073,600 pixels so, from there there are (2^24)^2,073,600 combinations your computer can display AKA, 1.500416922648713659562119353861314698489596010100536... × 10^14981179 combinations Short answer: no lern2math&datatheory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
