Or then it is like the case with youngsters and mp3s, where the studies have found that they actually prefer the "sound" of compressed music - with compression artifacts and all. If a hifi enthusiast (~tunesmith) would say that uncompressed music sounds better, you wouldn't shoot his argument down by saying that improved fidelity and dynamics just allow you to hear the music was recorded and postprocessed in a studio.

What I'm trying to say with this mp3 analogue is that it is very much a matter of habit and preference. Technically lower quality video does not lead to better immersion if it is not something you have learnt to expect.
