Screen Colours / Color Depth: 16 million or 65K?
 

Reading the Fremantle Master Layout Guide, I find out that the screen has only 64k colours (16bit)... is it true? Or it has 16M colours (24bit)?
Anybody knows how many colours has the iPhone?

Edit: I correct the bit definition... 16M colors is 24bit and not 32bit :o

Maemo is 16bit and wake me up when a mobile device gets more bit depth than my current TFT LCD (18bpp).

The hw may support 18 bit actually, but I doubt the sw does (both iPhone and Maemo).

Wake up javispedro... a lot of phone do it... take a look at the Nokia 6131 16M colors (24bit)... and this is just an example.

the N900 has 16M colors

Re: Screen Colours
 

it's 64k colors (16 bit), just like all the other NITs before.

Note I don't believe it either (I've seen worse dithering lies) but on a QVGA screen who cares.

Well, I corrected Wikipedia's N900 page today, so I wouldn't say Wikipedia is a trusted source on the issue.

Of course it's not always trusted, but if you see here (Nokia US page) it confirm that N900 has 16,7 million colours... is it untrusted too? :D

From looking at undithered color gradients on screen, I would say, definitely not 16.7m but 65k.
However the screen has a resolution where dithering gives great effects.
