[Frage] Which video quality you choose to watch a series? Why?

[hamanotaiki89]

I always watch in 720p since my laptop can only handle that much
Which one (360p/480p/720p/1080p) do you choose and why?

Personally I'll try to find a 1080p bluray rip. If that isn't available then a 720p bluray rip is fine.

Codec does not matter as long as it is well encoded H264 (AVC)/HEVC.

I do encode my own video as well (HEVC), from experience I usually find the largest source possible at the highest quality (Including audio) which can be anywhere from 8GB all the way to 200GB.

as high bitrate as possible at atleast 720p.

 

[Klil]

1080p simply because it's the highest quality I choose to torrent in and the file sizes aren't too bad although I will seek out bluray rips if I really like the series

 

[Petpunk]

I can't stand less than 720p...but at the end of the day it doesn't matter if the rip is awful anyway, I've seen horrible 1080p videos and pretty decent 480p ones.

720p or 1080p

Anything less than 720p is really poor quality and barely watchable imho.

The higher, the better. The problem is rather that my internet connection is only 2Mbit/s which is why I sometimes prefer lower resolutions because of less loading time[DOUBLEPOST=1471046598][/DOUBLEPOST]But according to Telekom support we should reach speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s by the end of Februray 2017 but until then I have to suffer I already checked all alternatives: LTE is not available (only EDGE), DSL over satellite: high ping and the providers have very bad ratings because they are reaching way less speed than they claim

I also choose the highest available. Disk space and internet speed is no issue to me, so there's no reason to punish myself with LQ.

720p with seasonal anime airing. 1080 if there are blurays. But I tend to avoid the ones with 5.1 audio because I use headphones and sometimes the voice audio track can't be downsampled/mapped to stereo.

 

[balrod]

the higher i could find around, up to 1080p

 

[ota-Q]

I used to go for the highest quality I could find.
Nowadays I pretty much only watch animes on my PSvita on my way to school and back, so I switched to 480p.
For most animes there is basically no difference since the high definition adds very little to the experience, though there are exceptions.

 

[voaij]

Don't really see the point with anything >720p for TV releases.

BDs definitely 1080p though.

 

[Angelox]

1080p, but if the art style and animation aren't too detailed in the first place, I can live with lower resolutions too.

 

[Falconone]

I have no problem with 480p but that is because I started long time ago. But for editing I need the best source I can get.

 

[Serax]

always the highest resolution because my internet connection can handle it and why not xD
