- So far, only the LC II, Quadra 950, 8*24 (Rev. B) and 8*24GC (Rev. B)support
- 16-bit color.

- 13" 16" 19" 21"
- Q950 512K = 8-bit 512K = 8-bit 512K = 4-bit? 512K = 4-bit
- 1 MB = 16-bit 1 MB = 16-bit 1 MB = 8-bit? 1 MB = 8-bit
- 2 MB = 24-bit 2 MB = 24-bit 2 MB = 16-bit 2 MB = 16-bit

- For the Q950 with 19", I'm guessing because the notes I have don't explicitly
- list the screen depth except that the 2MB = 16-bit figure is accurate.
-
- Hope this helps.
