    The difference between 480p and 720p videos isn’t that big. Yeah, 720p looks nice, but 480p doesn’t look horrendous.

    Source: All the YouTube videos I watch are in 480p, and have been doing so since before 720p stopped being considered HD for some reason. I live in the Third World and my Internet connection is 10 down/1 up.

      It actually is that big. It’s so big, 480p uses a different encoding. Small text is unreadable in 480p, but only slightly blurry in 720p.

          You mentioned YouTube, which is 99% made of content other than movies.

              Good for you, I guess? I do it all the time.
