Yeah, there's definitely a noticable difference, except that rather than looking better, it just looks more washed out. Looking at every example they give on the linked page, the only one that actually looks "better" is the night scene on the river (and that's only the sky that looks better, the water looks better on the right)...
To me the flesh tones in the above pic look better at lower contrast ratio, same with the flowers, the white spec firework-type-thing.
To me it looks like they didn't just increased the contrast ratio, but increased the contrast overall, which isn't necessarily good.
