What resolution do you prefer to watch videos in online?

 

Personally I prefer 720p. Because it's fantastic quality while not being lag prone. And the internet is fully capable of supporting it unlike 1080p.

[Always 309]

1080p. I always prefer the best resolution I can get.

[Rob 5,571]

240p. I like to see which pixel the person I'm trying to see is.

It was so obvious who created this poll even before I clicked on it lol

 

Anyways, I prefer 1080p, since it's the highest resolution. However, most videos online aren't in 1080p, so I'll watch them in 720p or whatever the highest resolution available is.

[Henne 150]

720p - everything above is unnecessary.

[Kinode 3,056]

240p, mostly because my computer is laggy as hell.

But when it doesn't lag, which is rarely, 720p.

[axel91 161]

1080p

[Leaxel 178]

720p

 

Just a waste of time to load a 1080p when 720p is almost just as good.

[CGEire 31]

I stick to 480p, because my internet connection can barely ever handle 720p, and never 1080p.

[Kishira 2,854]

720. .w.

[Col.Random 3,683]

360p, loads faster plus the graphics are ok.

[SoraKH 793]

Ok i mean like come on everyone knows the answer! 1080

What the firetruck is 576p? The bastard child of 480p and 720p

Yeah, I've never even heard of that resolution before.

[Mirr0rVS13 169]

1080p

 

Duh!

[Nweintraub 630]

Which one is higher quality?

[Uncle Dolan 963]

What teh firetruck is 576p.

[Dartuza 22]

Honestly, I really don't see a difference between 720 and 1080. 720 works just fine for me.

"576p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced, the 576 for a vertical resolution of 576 lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 720 or 704 pixels. The frame rate can be given explicitly after the letter.^[1]"

 

^"In other words, standard-definition television (SDTV) with a frame rate of 25 hertz. It can be used on analog PAL or SECAM systems (as a 576i signal with both interlaced fields corresponding to a unique frame). PALplus supports it via a "movie" mode signal flag. It can also be transported by both major digital television formats, ATSC and DVB and on DVD."

 

"With doubled temporal resolution, 576p50 is considered enhanced-definition television (EDTV). In some countries, such as Australia, the 576p resolution standard is technically considered high-definition and was in use by the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS TV) (16÷9 the format has aspect ratio 1024:576), eventually replaced by 720p for its high-definitionsubchannel. The Seven Network initially used 576p for its high-definition subchannel, which now uses 1080i instead."

I use 720 when i'm on my PC,

but I use 1080 when i'm on my parent's laptop.

[RayIII 16]

720p is high res and enough for me. 1080p makes the filesize just to big and that is unnecessary in my opinion.

This

I normally watch videos online in 360p due to how much it lags mainly cuz I always have 6 - ∞ tabs open and usually half of them are youtube

[J. Severe 1,137]

While 1080p is nice and all, it sometimes take awhile to load, so I'd rather go with 720p.

 

Also - 576p? Wat.

I already explained it.
