The “best” TV you could buy in 2005, television shows specifically appeared to be “high quality” or “clear” and now if you watch a show that is directly uploaded from the producers (circumventing continuous compression from file transfers) you can tell it’s out dated just based on the quality of the show (aside from cultural cues such as fashion, vehicles etc)
tl’dr : I was watching T.C.A.P w/ Chris Hansen on TV when it was aired, watching it now I can tell how old it is based on the quality of the recording.

additional quirk of media that was supposed to be played in CRTs is interlacing.
they combine two frames of video into one, “lacing” them together into alternating lines.
the right way to display these frames is to render the two halves sequentially, which was done with CRTs.
but when you convert these into digital, they’re just displayed as two frames frankensteined together.
