I'm curious as to how a typical computer/monitor effectively displays a
RAW image if it contains 12 bits/channel of data. Aren't most desktops
set to display 8 bits/channel only?


Many RAW converters can save data in 16 bit/channel TIFF files, and even
if the monitor can only display 8 bpc, the additional resolution is
useful when doing things like applying color corrections and lifting
details out of shadows.
