Change color depth? - workingclasshacker - 03-24-2019

I have an Octan2 with vPro6 and an O2
Is it possible to get a higher color depth on these two? Like 24bit?
I am running both @ 1280x1024_60

Both seem to run in some kind of index color mode.

And I cant't seem to find an intuitive way of setting the color mode. The display configuration utility says something about 8 bytes buffers, but that is 32 bits, but when I check out screen savers, backgrounds and so on, they are heavily dithered.
