Was Early 50s TV that blurry?

225 views

I’ve noticed on most TV footage from that era it’s quality inconsistent.

Some are clear but with low resolution and others being like it’s being filmed from a camera pointed in the tube.

It may be the ladder cause back then there wasn’t a method to record live TV but was that the reason some footage look flashy and high contrast?

EDIT:Here’s two examples from 1955:

They did have live TV in the early 50s (low quality) and pre-recorded TV (higher quality but expensive).
