Sentences, sentences ffs.

Oh and no, resolution does not have anything to do with how much colours can be displayed.

How much colours is down to usually which panel type and how it is backlit IIRC.

 
The panel type determines the number of colors an LCD panel can display.

TN panels can only produce 256k colors by dithering or "blending" up to "16.7m" colors can be created or at least that what the manufacturers claim. This is basically why TN panels monitors are so inexpensive.

PVA, MVA and IPS panels can produce 16.7nm true colors.
