Yesterday, I decided to watch my digital copy of Iron Man 2 during my lunch break, and I was really disappointed in the video playback quality of the iPhone 4. Even the slightest motion on the screen looked very blurry or had what I guess you'd call ghosting. Thinking that it may have been the video itself, I tried a couple of other movies. One was an iTunes digital copy and the other was encoded with HandBrake. Both showed the same playback issues on the iPhone 4. I had previously watched both of the other movies on my iPod Touch, without any problems.

So far I have only noticed this when viewing movies. Games don't seem to be affected.

I don't really use my iPhone for video too often (probably why it took me 3 months to notice). However, I am a little annoyed that the video quality is this bad.

Is this normal for the iPhone 4, or is this some kind of defect? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
