I just want to add some perspective
That is an image from a VHS movie AFTER it has been digitally altered to improve quality, and for years people favoured VHS over higher quality formats (laserdisc) because it was less expensive and more convenient.
Now, if you look at HD-DVD/Blu-Ray comparisons to DVD (http://www.stesoft.com/hdvsdvd.html) there is a noticeable improvement but (unlike the jump from VHS to DVD) it is mostly an increase in crispness and a bit of detail rather than displaying meaningful elements.
