It depends on the manufacturer and the display's position in their lineup. Pioneer's Elite plasmas use at least 12-bit processing (for the last 2 years, I don't know what the specs are for this year's models) and today's Panasonic plasmas are using 16-bit processing. Of course, that doesn't mean you won't find the less expensive brands using 10-bit processing. By the way, all digital video content (cable, satellite, OTA, DVD, HDTV, HD DVD, Blu-ray, etc) is only encoded with 8-bit video.As for color accuracy, CRT is still considered the king. Plasma is second and the rest fight it out for the remaining positions. Plasma's delay/refresh time is only 2 milliseconds -- still the fastest.
While reflections on a plasma screen are still noticeable if there's plenty of light or open windows, several manufacturers have made progress in decreasing this issue with newer screen coatings and anti-reflective designs. They still have room for improvement, though.
