I uploaded one DConf video to test Vimeo:
https://archive.org/details/dconf2014-day01-panel

Vimeo has a limit of 500MB/week so I actually had to reencode it 
myself (~734->~480MB). Then Vimeo reencoded it again after upload.
So quality with a paid account would likely be higher.

The top image is the original, middle is my reencode before 
uploading and bottom is the result at Vimeo:

There's a visible loss of detail, but it's not nearly evident as 
on the screens you have shown.

Here's the video:
