I Miss the early 2000's and I lived through that. You have some early 1990's references too.

Actually, Wonderswan has 8 shades of grey, not 4, so its shade palette is 3-bit, not 2. Also, CGA's 4-colour mode has 4 palette settings, 2 of which are a darker version of the other 2, the other one of which has a custom colour, red, green, and yellow. The black colour you listed on the CGA 4-colour palette is actually a customisable colour, which can be picked from CGA's total 16 colour palette.

Also, CGA's 320x200 4-colour mode is only like that on RGBI, EGA, and VGA monitors. On composite, the 320x200 4-colour mode functioned more like a 160x200 16-colour mode due to NTSC artefacting and composite not separating the colour signal from the brightness signal.

4 years of gradual improvements over time made it that way. I still don't think its perfect enough lol

I was there when 2bit was born... I completely ignored it, and I suffered no consequences whatsoever for my ignorance. I would later eat two berries and a pear. Life is good.

The coolest thing about CRTs I reckon is being able to put them in vector mode. I remember reading an article about a pop-up retro arcade with classics like Asteroid running in true vector mode on actual CRTs and all the kids mentioning how it feels like a very different experience looking at the lines being actually drawn as lines in real time.
