Concerning all these great vga screens now pretty much standard on todays
laptops, are there any shade mapping problems associated with their limited
number of shades.  I seem recall that vga will display 256 colors, so if the
screens on these laptops can display only show 16, wouldn't there be certain
combinations of shades where if they happen to map to the same shade on the LCD
screen, seem to be one color and cause viewing problems?

What about the new Zeos laptop that displays 32 shades.
