Regarding display, the requirements are straightforward but important. A display resolution of 1920x1080 or higher is recommended.

The display must also support color depth of 16-bit or higher, which is essential for accurate color grading and avoiding banding in gradients. Note: Many legacy effects remain CPU-only
