YouTube no longer considers 720p as high-definition...

"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.

Quad HD...  Well, if 720p isn't HD anymore, 1440 can't be QHD anymore either.  Think about it. lol. 

But for me, 1080p isn't MY standard anymore.  720p is just totally out of the question except for Switch and PS3.  1440p is my bare minimum to keep me happy.

Just because Youtube isn't labeling 720P as "HD" anymore, doesn't mean that is the actual case in the real world.

And I agree. 1440P is the minimum for me... My phone is 1440P, my PC is 1440P, everything is 1440P or 2160P.

Resolution is important.

In saying that... The impact of resolution does vary depending on a ton of factors... For example:


In saying that... I find the Switch to be passable in portable mode, it's not an enjoyable resolution for me though, but mobile technology isn't at a point where they can offer 1440P with those levels of visuals at $300 AUD. Maybe in another 10 years.
