Unless I'm missing something, 320 x 240 = 76,800 pixels, so anything above 65,536 colors is only going to benefit the remaining 11,264 pixels, which is only a 15% increase in color depth.

Now VGA displays get a bigger benefit since 640 x 480 = 307,200 pixels, but I'm satisfied as it is now if more colors mean GAPI and driver issues.

The color accuracy on the current crop of screens is what's most important though. If you've ever tried viewing photos of people on Pocket PCs, you'll know that 50% of the screens out there don't display human skin and hair accurately enough.
