    Yes, there are all kinds of bitmap formats..
    Read about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format

    But, it's probably the bpp (bits per pixel) you need to worry most about...
    Figure out what that program is expecting and try using only those with same bpp.

    Irfanview is a free program that can change the bpp.

  • Ray is correct; the color model used in that display is 565. I have a routine that can read a 24-bit RGB bitmap, but it will be slower because every pixel has to be color converted. Best to do that in advance so that you can get the image to the display as quickly as possible.
