Sort of going off topic. My display is also a 10 bit panel but no wide color gamut if I understand correctly. Is this a 'bad" thing, but it does product a very pretty picture. Is there something I might be really missing out on.

10 bit ensures smoother gradients, less color banding.
Wide color gamut mainly produces better, richer greens, as you can see from the measurements below. Red gets a smaller boost, blue the smallest. Wide color gamut can produce more natural looking colors. The percentages are how much the tv covers of the rec.2020 color space (which in itself covers up to 70% of human color vision) To compare, the rec.709 standard for HDTV only covers 35% of human color vision.
Max 59% on the 700D might look bad on paper, yet it's still better at 1.18x the coverage of rec.709, while the B6 has a 1.48x increase over rec.709.
(Plus I doubt many older tvs actually reached the ful rec.709 spec, so the upgrade to rec.709 content will be visible too)

Current leader in wide color gamut, LG B6

After seeing this and how simple you explained it, it's starting to make a little more sense. And just comparing numbers, here's mine:
Wide Color Gamut : No
DCI P3 xy : 76.13 %
DCI P3 uv : 82.26 %
Rec 2020 xy : 54.17 %
Rec 2020 uv : 59.11 %
So I can only imagine how much better an HDR compatible TV looks when compared to this. I have the the Sony KDL-55W800C BTW, and I have no regrets of its purchase.
