It was truly amazing how great SD looked on a 25" tv. 525 scan lines. Bright enough to sear your eyeballs. In a vacuum, they didn’t even look fuzzy. But you put a 1080p full screen even on my WQHD and it looks like absolute trash :)
It’s like DVDs. DVDs looked great in 2002, compared to VHS or even broadcast TV, your new 32 inch “big screen” never looked as good playing a DVD over S-video. That same DVD in that same player attached by HDMI to a 45 inch 4k LCD looks grainy and horrid.
