On the contrary the 24-bit color display "looks" much better than 16-bit
display. Obviously it needs good eyesight :-)
For example, see this picture with a 16 bit display and then with a true
color display. The gradients show up much smoother in 24 bit display mode
while on 16 bit mode, it looks really awful.

Same difference can be observed with video. Try these texture loops in the
two modes:
