Album Art does NOT display properly

If its true black, the pixel won't be lit - so, it should indeed be /black/.
FWIW - there is indeed something quite wrong with the display of certain images used for album art - this isn't the first time this has popped up or been discussed so it surprises me that people are telling OP that this isn't an issue when it in fact is.

ZincAlloy:
To me it sounds more like the quirks of the display.. A photo or the actual album art that has the problem would be quite helpful, though.

This has been reported before
I have seen it pop up occasionally in my own art.
I understand the willingness to blame the display, and it could *also* be a contributing factor, but, there's definitely another issue at play here.
Unfortunately the images from that original post (this has also popped up several times on our IRC channel but my Google-fu is weak tonight) have long since fallen into a black hole, but I'm willing to bet they would show OP's issue exactly as the behavior he describes is very specific.

EDIT: Now that I realized this small point - how it is rational to assume that the display is at fault when there are (presumably) other areas of the screen that display color fine? I didn't see OP mention "black looks screwed up *everywhere*"...
saratoga:
Trying the image in that thread, the background is drawn as kind of a darkish gray color. This happens on both device and sim. Changing to 8 bit fixes the problem. I guess there is some bug in the color conversion.

The problem I have is not the display, it's more related to buggy JPEG decoding, I think. I read somewhere that progressive JPEG album art doesn't work well with Rockbox.
How do I change to 8-bit so I can at least see if that works, Saratoga?
