Ah yes. Pity they didn't implement this on the GS. Not very well, that
is. In color mode, you can display on 560 positions, but you also get
the colors. Or, you get grayscale but the pixels all have different
brightnesses. And in black and white mode, it reverts to 280 positions.
They also didn't implement DHGR2 on the GS. Anyone know why?
