I've noticed the past few months where I'm seeing a lot of reviews knock points off the A/V Quality score. There's nothing "wrong" with the quality of these edits, they just don't look awesome by current standards. They were great 5 years ago, but now TVs are bigger, HD is more common, and people are even AI-upscaling deleted or old footage so that it looks like 1080p.
So I'm wondering if there is some kind of community expectation about this now. Is A/V Quality a kind of subjective reading, like "this made my jaw drop....or it didn't"? Or is it unfair to knock an edit just because it's not in HD (and not intended to be)? I sometimes think that reviewers might just knock a point off here or there just because they didn't love the edit, but there's not anything actually wrong with the "Quality" or the "Visual Editing"...
