These days, kids identify them by the aspect ratio.

    … or how blurry the image is (SD vs HD).

        Radio vs TV for Boomers

        B&W vs Color for Gen X

        SD vs HD would be Millenials

        4K vs HD for Zoomers

            And I’m late boomer, so I’m b&w to color.

          I’m a millennial and I can’t really tell the difference between SD and HD. Do you mean like when YouTube switches to 360p instead of 1080?

              I recall some people calling 1440p 2K and it really grinds my gears

      That’s a big problem for stuff that was originally shot on video. Old stuff shot on film can look pretty good when digitized.

        But then you also have that very specific window of time when a lot of stuff especially SFX was done on video that can’t be upscaled. Babylon 5 fans weep.
