 I have to object 100% to that! come on...
 On the personal Iris you just add you video ram to get 24bit has you
 add memory to a A3000.
 DCTV -> 4 bit per pixel, 640x400 (+Overscan).
 You can display the full 24bit palette for having 24bit without 24bit
 is 'not' trully possible or you impose limitation of color choices.
 And the amiga has only 5 true planes.
 With true 24bit display you can display DCTV images, but DCTV cant
 display corectly all 'true' 24bit display...
 Has I laready said, try line drawing, text, windows etc... on DCTV.
 If you compare DCTV vs Colorburst you will see little diference with
 'TV' images (DCTV will look a little more blury), but with anything
 else DCTV will go short.
