[Nouveau] Why do non-lvds monitors default to dithering these days?

[Maarten Maathuis]

In the past we assumed that external displays did their own dithering
if needed. GPU based dithering is only needed for laptop displays if i
had to guess.

I was almost thinking my monitor was malfunctioning because of strange
barely visible flickering. Now it *seems* as if dithering was the
problem, although time will have to tell, because it's subtle to see
these effects.

Ofcource i can try and find a way to set the connector property more
permanently (if anyone has suggestions besides sticking an xrandr
command in my .xinitrc please let me know), but i don't see why we
would need to assume that anything but lvds and eDP needs to be
dithered.
