Is it possible to compare tonemapped P5 screenshots with P8?
Reason I ask is because as of lately I'm seeing more and more "RGB 16-bit" screenshots floating around. Are these accurate representation of what P5 has to offer? I thought it was only possible to compare the two by taking pictures of the TV? If so, how are these RGB screenshots made?
Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Assuming HDR10 is HDR and Profile 5 DV is "expanded HDR" (effectively 12-bit colours because of how the master-to-P5 conversion works), are these tonemapped screenshots an acccurate representation of P5? Am I correct in thinking there's no point comparing them on a regular 8-bit, regular 10-bit screen (HDR) without the capability of "expanded HDR" (P5)? If you know what I mean?

DV is HDR. HDR is a general term that encompasses all HDR formats: HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10+.
There’s no visible difference unless the grading itself differs, or if the WEB-DL comes from Apple TV because Apple is stupid, applies the same color reshaping metadata to all content, which slightly distorts the colors. This issue has nothing to do with P5 using 10bit ICtCp that effectively equivalent to 11.5-bit YCbCr. When comparing P5 and HDR10 across Disney+, Amazon, Netflix, or MAX, they will always look identical, even when viewed in 16-bit RGB.
