720p is no longer considered HD on YouTube

have y'all noticed this?

They removed the HD tag from 720p...it's only on 1080 and above now

to be fair, 720 is the new 480p. When I sell TVs, one of my biggest pitches is distinguishing the differences and I normally suggest that 1080p is the standard of high definition, while 720p is kinda obsolete but useful if you don't mind the blurry texture.

One way of trying to push 4k I suppose

I guess.

Personally, I watch 720 on my laptop. It's fine for me on there.

1080 is cool for my streaming sticks on my TV. I don't know if I'll ever be a 4K guy. Maybe for like nature shows, but not for just regular shows/movies.

Breh...4k does wonders on some movies .

I watched some Amazon original series (I forgot the name of it) and holy shyt it felt like watching a live painting.

Beyond that, 1080p is what it is.

I noticed the 1440p option on more vids. Makes me more likely to pick up a new monitor in the near future

Now if only standard television broadcasts got the memo.

720 still looks great for porno.

yep, when you have resolutions like 1080p and the new 1440p 720p becomes obsolete.
