That looks better, I will change to use those macros.

If the display is 4bit grayscale it still expect each pixel to be
written as two bits. The mapping is as follows:
0 0 => White
0 1 => Light gray
1 0 => Dark gray
1 1 => Black

So here I write the data twice to get a black&white image for monochrome
formats.
This is not tested though, I only have a monochrome display to test
with.

I will extend the comment to explain this.
