This is something I touched on in another post. The problem is out of
my hands in terms of how hardware/software renders such images. They
will either do a bad job and potentially introduce gradient banding or
they will attempt to mimimise the effect and use dithering.

I'm certainly no expert when it comes to hardware - for all I know,
VDUs have been able to support such colour depth for years.
