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 [[Platform/{{VCR}} VHS]] quality --despite digital formats being available-- to achieve certain aesthetics, and RasterVision, the deliberate usage of analog TV scan lines.

* ''Film/TheThreeStooges [[InSpace In Orbit]]'': Near the end, television executives are watching a demo reel of a new style of Stooges cartoon on television, when the building gets crashed into. The TV is knocked around like the other props, but the image doesn't and keeps running even after one would think the set lost power. This, by the way, was not done in a closeup of the screen.

* Creator/DoveCameron: In the music video of "Breakfast", Cameron plays two characters--a powerful, office female worker in a world with the gender roles switched and a silent TV presenter in black-and-white. The latter's image is always crystal clear despite the device she appears being very old to today's standards. It only shows scan lines when the illusion of the gender-flipped world starts to shatter.

** 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]].
