I agree, but with an important caveat: Youtube's 1080p streams are over-compressed. I have a 1080p projector, but 4K Youtube videos still look noticeably better

I agree, but with an important caveat: Youtube's 1080p streams are over-compressed. I have a 1080p projector, but 4K Youtube videos still look noticeably better due to the higher bitrate.
Admittedly this is on a huge projector and not a phone. I don't watch enough Youtube videos on my phone to know if it would matter there.

- Wowfunhappy 3y agoThat's nice, but a little odd that it's paywalled when the 4K option is not.
- kevincox 3y agoThere is a small benefit as some videos have "enhanced 1080” but no higher resolutions.
- rasz 3y agoAfair Apple users also get those higher bitrates by default, for free.
