MacOS still does not support 10-bit color at all in OS. You must you some kind of external monitor hardware that supports 10-bit via certain drivers for apps to see 10-bit on the Mac.

Windows supports 10-bit via Quadro and ATI Fire cards. Of course you have to apps the display/output in 10-bit to see the advantages.  Obviously , Windows can also work external 10-bit etc. with external monitoring.

I have 10-bit working just fine and wish more apps fully supported it as it is really nice.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Well, I have two different DreamColor monitors, and they both do 10 bits-per-channel colors at several frame rates via DisplayPort.
Then again, I'm on PC, and my world may be very different from yours. But the DreamColor monitors sure can do 30-bit (10 per channel) color at different frame rates.

If you feed 10-bit color to the DreamColor, and it's calibrated to Rec709 - then Rec709 is what you see. I do this through DisplayPort.
On a Mac, or through HDMI, I'm not sure how that works.

I have the HP DreamColor display, and it only goes into "Deep Color" = mode when fed a 60Hz signal thru DisplayPort or HDMI 1.2.  The way you = get it to play other frame rates (like 23.976) is to put a converter, = like the AJA HDP2 between your video card's SDI out and the HDMI to = Displayport cable=85 and wondering what the analogous options are for = this display.

I also have a question about how Adobe Ae and Pr handle color spaces = when using the computer's HDMI outputs without a converter box.  If it's = Full RGB, that's not very useful for broadcast work, right?
