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.

This depends. 2005 had HD broadcasting but it was 1080i or 720p. Blu-ray came out in 2006… unless you were watching something that was recorded with old NTSC analog video, it doesn’t make sense. Now if you were talking about old tv shows from 80s and 90s, then I’d agree.

How are you “watching it now”. What is the source. Did you record it? is it a youtube recording?
