Sigh... let's try it one more time...
 
"True Color" means that the human eye cannot tell the
difference between a computer generated image and the "real"
thing.
 
This phenomenon happens when you reach 24 bits per pixel,
giving approximately 16 million different colors.
 
The actual screen resolution is not that important, the number
of colors is.
