Why is there a huge difference from 240p to 360p in the YouTube video quality but then not really much of a difference from 360p to 720p?
In: Technology
It’s a matter of hitting “diminishing returns” in terms of your brains ability to do object recognition. At 240p, a lot of things are a lot more difficult to recognize than at higher resolutions. At 360p and 480p, you can pretty well recognize all of the important parts of a picture, and your brain will make it seem like there is a massive jump in quality.
Higher resolutions add additional clarity to the image, but generally not to the extent that it’s bringing into focus key elements of the picture. The higher the resolution, the better you can see the minor details.
