Or they truly do.

Three reasons I can think of:

* Good lights / good colour and light capture of the camera can make more details visible than in real life.
* When filming, focus is on a bigger part of the subject and the camera capture more details. When displayed on a screen, everything looks super much in focus, however in real life, you mostly only focus on one thing.
* Connected to the first bullet point: The screen you look at blast light onto your eyes, making every detail much easier to see. Try tuning down the brightness on the screen and you will start to miss some of the details.

Try taking something ordinary (like over ear headphones or other object that fits your hand with details on it) and hold it under a desk lamp and look at the details – take them in and you will see that you can see more details than normal.
