It isn' t TRUE 30 bit.
It is EMULATED.
It's also a good thing.Last edited by Zanna; 23 September 2004, 03:26.<b><i><font size="+1">Zanna.</font></i></b>

Hrmm we already use temporal modulation and subpixel mixing for our medical panels to extend grayscale color depth well past 256 shades.
Unfortunately for color LCDs you're still limited by the color reproduction characteristics of the glass module. On a CRT I can see this making a noticable differance however.Comment

ROFL ... what an old hat that is ...
I remember having a "real-time-dithering" software on my olden C64, that generated me 70 colorshades, derivated from the original 16 colors.Despite my nickname causing confusion, I am not female ...

Darn, you beat me to the posting...
My favorite line in the article is of course:
So far, the display of 30-bit images has required special hardware such as Matrox' Parhelia products.
Go Bunny GO!

Even my HP48GX calculator can do games with greyscale graphics via "temporal modulation" of it's 1 bit LCD.Comment

I used exactly this trick as well, on a MSX2. Normally, screen 8-mode of a MSX2 has 256 fixed colors, which can be displayed at once. With this trick and another trick to get less flickering I got 1536 colors at once. Looked pretty neat.
There's even printed evidence
