If a product doesn't provide the ability to assign any of 2^24 colors to each pixel independently, then the manufacturer should not be advertising it with the term "24 bit color", however gaudy and nice the color might actually be. A frame buffer is a frame buffer; anything else is just an attempt to skimp on quality or quantity of video ram and video ram interface chips to pass off a poorer quality job as the real thing.
