having a passive display you won't notice the vertical resolution loss of a HOU movie compared to frame packed or OU because the passive display is always using half height regardless of source material. Even frame packed source will be shown with half height which equals HOU. So at least for passive displays missing frame packed format doesn't matter much if you have HOU files. For all active 3D displays it ofc matters and there might be a visible quality loss. Personally I don't care at all - anything looking somewhat better than DVD is fine for me - I even don't mind watching HSBS on my passive display which additionally has half horizontal resolution - still looking good from the distance I'm watching.
