this is true. SD TV's or tube TV's handle that stuff way better than 1080p and 4k tvs. i hooked up a super Nintendo to my 4k tv a few months ago and it was a blurry mess. Had an old flat screen sony tube tv I was using in the basement that my pops gave me a when i went to college (keep in mind i haven't even turned this tv on in like 6 or 7 years either) first of all it worked, and second of all my super Nintendo looked perfectly fine on it. it's only because upscaling always makes pictures look soft and you're talking trying to stretch 240p or 480p all the way to 2160p, you lose all kinds of detail that way. Hell 720p on a 4k is almost unbearable unless you have a really high end 4k tv that upscales teal well. I got rid of a 1080p Samsung and got a 43 inch 5 series tcl, and it actually handles sd pretty well.
bro i dont know how the hell i watched tv back in the day. looking back, its like playing shytty lookin ps1 games
HDTV and YouTube make 90s sports highlights look like they are from the 70s. It's not accurate to how it looked at all at the time.
Sometimes I want to buy an old tube tv to remember what stuff actually looked like in its day. I remember being floored by Dreamcast graphics and Mario 64 the first time.
i still have that tube tv, and i might keep it for that very reason. Anything using an analog source looks better on an analog tv.

How much of a difference do you see?
Kate Beckinsale on Amazon Prime in the Widow..wonderful
for me personally it's not a big difference unless it's hdr, even some implementations of hdr aren't all that great. It really depends on the tv. For example, I watched Avengers on regular bluray and watched it later in UHD and it's no comparison, then I watched inception in 4k and to be honest, minus the audio it looks the same.
Quite a diff. Hdr is the shyt
I got my first legit home theater setup right when it took off. I felt like encino man 
The combo of surround sound and HD is unfadeable.

I will never forget the night I watched a football game over my pops house in HD for the first time the vivid picture made my eyes tingle I went home and turned on my 36in toshiba and immediately turned it back off

Something similar happened to me. I got used to my roommate's HD TV and watching sports on it. After seeing the difference between that and my SD I had to get an HD TV. Which was funny considering how for years I was always on the tip of the visuals not mattering that much until I saw the difference up close. Same happened with my aunt. Her daughters husband was living with them and had an HDTV. After a long time of me trying to convince her to upgrade it took him living there for her to make the change once he moved.I will never forget the night I watched a football game over my pops house in HD for the first time the vivid picture made my eyes tingle I went home and turned on my 36in toshiba and immediately turned it back off
I do kind of want to get an older TV just to watch some old VHS boxing tapes I still have. I hooked up the VCR to my new TV and the picture is unwatchable but on my old TV it looked solid as fukk.

The saturation values alone make HD a much better viewing experience.

The TVs with the 2 knobs uhf and vhf. Using hangers as antennas.
I didn't have an HD TV until 2006. And now I barely watch TV so the answer is no.
