  20 years ago was pre-bluray, so the most common video media was dvd with resolution of 720 × 480 (480p). So 720p was really good 20 years ago.

    That, and monitor/TV size increased a lot at the time when flat panels became a thing, so you need a higher resolution to achieve the same pixel density.

      Well also the change to pixel based screens from CRTs meant that you needed higher resolution for the picture to look comparitively good.

  It was not. 30 years ago, it would have been very good, though, as a lot of media was still SD.
