So, I was just watching some gameplay on YouTube when I noticed something unusual.

Yup, YouTube no longer seems to consider 720 as HD. Kind of a bummer, really. Especially considering some people I know don't have the internet speeds to stream YouTube's new minimum HD resolution now. Although, I guess it really doesn't matter. Are companies other than YouTube also considering 720p as standard definition? I haven't bought a new TV in a while, so i'm not sure if HD TV's are doing this as well. Is this the new norm?

This is all news to me. I feel like i've been living under a rock, since I still consider 720p to be a great resolution for movies and gaming.

"HD" is just an advertising name, it's not important.

1440P isn't HD either. It's Quad-High Definition or sometimes referred to as 2k.
