Have you looked at the actually rendered frames? I think
you may be seeing artefacts from mp4 compression. Many codecs
don't really like artifical images and tiny sharp dots. Also,
does the animation really use a resolution of 1920x1080? If
not, you also have some scaling done by the converter.

Note that you should render without jitter (command line -J)
for animations, although it doesn't seem to do much here.
