Part of your problem may be a graphics driver or card. You may also know
that variations in gamma settings of monitor can affect display of images
(this issue has plagued crossplatform development for years).
However, I also have seen strange results on 16 bit displays. I can't give
you any rational or technical reasons why, but I can tell you that in my
experience, image display on both Windows and Macintosh platforms under 16
bit color can appear slightly off. When aligned together, sliced images,
which fit seamlessly in 8 and 24 bit environments, show artifacts under 16
bits.
This makes no sense since the range of color should be enough accommodate
most images, but for some reason, either slight color shifts occur or subtle
variances in colors become apparent. The only advice I can give you is to
test your images across 8, 16 and 24 bit depths, both visually and
numerically if you must (ie use a color measuring utility or something like
the eyedropper tool in Photoshop).

Scott
