If you're loading a very large bitmap and you want to show it on a phone with small heap space e.g. 16MB or 24MB, you may want to change the bitmap to 16 bit, RGB_565.
Then you'll realize that gradients look stair-stepped. So when you enable dithering, it breaks the obvious stair-steps and makes it look like a smoother gradient.
