What should also be understood is that bits for display and bits for
pallette are entirely different.
 
The "standard" Amiga has 12bits for its pallette, but only 6 usually for
display, depending on resolution.  A "standard" Personal Iris has 24bits
for its pallette, and 8 for its display.
 
My DCTV has 24bits for its pallette, but displays 22bits...while some will
dispute whether or not it's a 24bit device, there is no way to tell from
the screen because there aren't more than 4.2 million pixels onscreen.  The
point would be moot.
