Impressive memory optimizations. Streaming out converted pixel values was a neat way of pulling off the "framebuffer" without having enough memory for storing all the 16 bit values. Solid engineering.

Ooh, once we get to "streaming pixel values" out, then we're secretly using the LCD screen's internal memory as a second framebuffer.
