Ok, another stupid question....which is better-1024x768x16 or 1024x768x32.....what are the differences? Thanks! 😀

I believe that the last number is the amount of possible colors, X32 is the better of the two.
32 of course 🙂
I have mine set to 16 in the sim and can't notice any difference in colour but an increase in performance 
well i run at 1280x1024 and you can certainly see 16bit over 32bit! any semi transparency gets 'meshed' - so instead of transparency the bitmap goes into a hex pattern.
