Prototype macOS Color Profile for Reducing Temporal Dithering
I was looking into how to reduce Temporal Dithering on newer Apple Silicon M1 and M2 Macs, since there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it completely.
On my older Mac mini late 2014, there doesn't seem to be any temporal dithering when connecting to my TV or the monitor. I went ahead and extracted the color profile used on it and applied it to the M1 Mac mini connected to a Dell U2415 monitor with HDMI-to-HDMI cable.
From what I can notice on my specific setup, the temporal dithering is reduced, the colors are solid and the gradients are smoother.

I'm not sure how good is the color accuracy on it, as this is specifically aimed toward reducing the temporal dithering.
If someone else wants to test the color profile, you can download it from here:

To use the profile:
1. Copy the Reduce Temporal Dithering.icc file to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
2. Go to System Settings > Displays > Color Profile and select the Sony TV *00 - Forced RGB Mode color profile from the list
3. Check the colors where you usually notice temporal dithering on your monitor and write a comment if they are reduced or if you have any issues and questions
