You mentioned 4 shades (not > 4-bit?!) and the page says 16k. wouldn't 4*4*4 = 64 colors?

Certain kinds of displays can take advantage of dithering, however, and that looks pretty good. -- Dave Tweed -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
