A method and apparatus for dithering may provide filtering M bit data and performing a temporal/spatial compensation based on LSB of the filtered M bit data. The dithering may be performed on a selected frame. M-2 bits of the M bit data may be specified as a reference gray scale value resulting from the filtered M bit data. Temporal compensation may provide adding a weight of `0` or `1` to the reference gray scale value, for example M-2 bit data. Spatial compensation may include horizontal or vertical mirroring, and may be performed to represent whole gray scales without saturation.
