If I set both phones to a similar brightness, the contrast of the home screen, browser etc. is approximately the same on both phones, but the contrast of the videos is very different.

I am guessing this is because the ROM allows it to boost the brightness/contrast at a lower level so that HW decoding also benefits from the changes.
With screen adjuster or similar, I believe the only time it affects the video is when using SW decoding.

I can temporarily go back to the stock ROM on my phone, just out of curiosity, the result doesn't really matter.

Have you actually done that to compare? I (and I'm sure others!) would appreciate it if you could try it on the stock ROM or a ROM that does not do these brightness/contrast tweaks so we can determine if the hardware varies or has been improved. If you wouldn't mind doing that, I for one would really appreciate it!

I knew I was going to buy a pentile phone, just like I knew it wasn't going to have an SD card. It's a PITA, but I wouldn't exchange this phone for any other, released or announced.

I don't think it has anything to do with the pentile screen, but rather the samoled and samsung's default gamma and the videos being encoded without a 0-255 color space in mind. But if your hardware side by side on the same ROM shows a big difference, we might have our first evidence that it's a hardware problem!
My rant about the ROM was when I was thinking it was a physical hardware ROM that you had noticed was different between the two phones, not a custom software OS ROM
