FORCE DISP1 to FORCE DISP0
FORCE DISP<1:0>:
00 = automatic selection
01 = force display to 525 mode (9 lines per row)
10 = force display to 625 mode (10 lines per row)

DISP LINES1 to DISP LINES0
the number of display lines per character row; DISP LINES<1:0>:
00 = 10 lines per character (defaults to 9 lines in 525 mode)
01 = 13 lines per character
10 = 16 lines per character
