How come in 2005, the television screen quality looked “so good” but in 2023 watching shows recorded back in 2005, the quality looks horrible.

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.

I think part of it might also be perception. When PlayStation first came out I thought we had reached the Pinnacle of game graphics and if they got any better they’d be making movies. Looking back having been exposed to better graphics now I can see how bad they were. That’s probably not the answer you were looking for, but you got that one already so cheers
