@rashkae: That's because the Forma (and other Mk. 7 devices) support hardware dithering, and it's indeed pretty decent (still slightly more obvious than a good 8x8 matrix (or a good error diffusion algo), but, pretty decent, and essentially free, which pretty much trumps any other concerns given how serviceable it is). Nickel's own isn't half-bad, but is hobbled by various legacy reasons, a visible consequence of that being a more obvious pattern.
