I agree with you, but "better" is subjective, and this change was ON PURPOSE because most consumers would disagree with us.

It's why they all have "motion smoothing" turned on all their TV's too. Yes, it's animation, but the Blu-rays look "higher resolution", and look "smoother" and less "noisy".

All the artistic benefits you and I see are lost on most watchers.
