Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Does anyone know if there is a list / chart anywhere that shows the color depths used by the various LCD screen drivers available either in-built in MM firmware or as a loadable C Sub?

I am particularly interested in knowing this information for the following common screens:

2.4" and 2.8" ILI9341 TFT LCDs
4" ILI9481 IPS LCD (using Peter Mather's loadable driver)
4.3", 5" and 7" SSD1963 TFT LCDs

Color Depth could be specified as either total colors supported, color depth in bits or the RGB code used by the interface - e.g. 65K colors = 16 bit color depth = RGB565 coding.

Thanks,
Phil.

The hardware COMMUNICATION to all displays is RGB565 except the SSD1963 which is RGB888. However, the colour depth the individual TFTs are capable of resolving may be much less.Edited by matherp 2017-11-28
