Or they truly do.

Images are typically processed to boost contrast & colours. If you go to a nice park on a sunny day with flowers and a little wind to move petals and leaves arround, you’ll find that nature can also look increadibly detailed and beautiful – we just rarely take the time to look for details like that.
I suspect the most likely but least realized reason for it has to do with the amount of fully in focus detail a camera takes in vs how your eyes actually focus on things out and about. the FOV of the average person is about 135 degrees but within that field you can only focus on one specific smaller circle within the field at any given time. Your eyes will focus on one point within the field and everything else becomes peripheral vision which becomes less focused radiating out from your current focal point. The average 28mm camera lens can focus to infinity and have everything it captures sharp. When you watch that on a tv your eyes are taking that wider amount of detail in on a screen which lies fully within the focal point of your eyesight….. I hope I explained that decently.
Localised contrast can make details stand out more. If you’re looking at a sandy beach and the bright grains are made brighter and the dark grains are made darker, the detail is more obvious. In the real world, it’s rather dull, but high definition with localised contrast looks more defined.
It’s also why HDR is a big deal.
Our eyesight is rated resolution of 1080p so 4k and above is always going to be an improvement
It’s unwatchable. It looks like a fucking soap opera. Video instead of film. I was at a pizza place the other day waiting for my order and they had a 4K tv. I thought I was watching one of those cheap looking PBS detective shows. It was Chicago PD.
