Compare IfYouCanReadThis, when the words on an on-screen printed page are readable by the viewers (often post-CRT only) and can contain extra information. Compare and contrast SuperCellReception, when it's cellphone signal reception that comes unbelievably clear in unlikely places. Contrast DeliberateVHSQuality, the usage of [[UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} VHS]] quality --despite digital formats being available-- to achieve certain aesthetics, and RasterVision, the deliberate usage of analog TV scan lines. SubTrope of InCameraEffects.

** In "Adam Ruins Sex", the ruinee shows a VHS tape he made in TheNineties about how herpes is horrible to have, but the quality is HD[[note]][[AluminumChristmasTrees HD VHS tapes exist]]. From 1998-2004, there was a format called D-Theatre which used digital Super VHS tapes to record 1080i content before Blu-Ray. However, these were uncommon, as the DVR took over TV recording while UsefulNotes/{{DVD}} took over home video. Plus, the UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} in the show looks like a normal VCR, not a D-Theatre VCR[[/note]]. Adam promptly inserts himself into the tape and informs them that unless you're immunocompromised, herpes is no big deal.

** In one of the ''Series/MasterNinja'' movies, the villains watching a surveillance screen that looks suspiciously sharper than the rest of the scene. A similar effect appears in the ''Riding With Death'' movie. Both movies are made somewhere in TheSeventies to early [[TheEighties 80s]].
