> 14bit (...) It gives a higher dynamic range (which is important for cameras and new displays) and a slightly better compression ratio (because there are less rounding errors in the decoder).
That's clever and a bit counterintuitive.

AFAIK, there is also less banding issues even in 8-bit content, and the filesize is generally smaller too. The biggest reason against its usage is more computational power, though.
