''Gigascreen'' is not originally a real graphic mode. It's an effect created by quickly alternating the image, and some TVs, old CRTs or LCD monitors can combine these images, each doing this effect a little differently, but most of them have a color mix. On the MB03+, screens are mixed in advance and then a digital output is generated, thus achieving a more perfect display, without flickering the image.
