Some waveforms, such as GC16, cause the display to flash even when the
previous and next pixel values are the same. This can be helpful,
because it produces more consistent brightness, but usually it is more
distracting. Add an option, enabled by default, for the hardware to
ignore the LUT and always send zeroes for pixels with unchanged values.
