without compromising on visual fidelity

But it does compromise. Netflix has the worst banding issues in low-light scenes of any of the streaming services I've tried. It's hard not to notice and it's very annoying.

With any tech that allows the same quality with less data, there will always be someone pushing to cut quality to save even more data.
