If anything, they were all about shades of gray, there was no piercing white, and no black black.

It's not about the actual extremes in contrast as much as the gradations. HD does it in very ugly way which gives an illusion of better contrast. It isn't better, it's exaggerated in a most ugly way. It's is being worked on and it is getting better all the time. This is no secret inside the industry. We have long considered HD and ugly to be synonymous. Thank goodness the problem is being worked on as we move away from film to all digital formats.
