When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Video experience/quality should no longer be considered a luxury
An alternative wording, which would also help us save the emphasis added by the use of "well", would be:
The days when video was considered a luxury are long gone.

: There is a difference in nuance between 'well past' and 'far beyond'.

You are correct, Tina; however, I believe that -- in this particular case -- the temporal and spatial connotations of both expressions do share a common convergence. (I would be very happy if you were to expand upon your view.)

: I agree, the key here is in the usage of the term vs the context, not necessarily in the literal or more common contexts it takes.

Discussion
In this context, the usage of "well" should accentuate the distance between past and present.
