Define "average phone screen". I have Pixel 7 Pro. It's got an HD display. 480p is going to look like ass.

If you have an excellent eyesight, maybe. Most of the very high quality movies were shot in 1080p and displayed on a movie screen. Resolution is overrated in many cases. 🐶🐾🫡
I have poor eyesight and I can tell the difference between 480p and 1080p on a phone screen.
Bad bitrate is what you see, not the resolution 🐶🐾🫡
Your arrogance is astounding.
I am sorry I made you feel this way, wasn’t my intention. I should have expanded a little more. What I should have said is that human eye is more likely to notice artifacts of bad encoding (quantization, variability of bitrate, etc.) and blocking, banding, then lower resolution with the just right amount of bits to encode the picture. I am not claiming that you cannot see the difference, I am just trying to say that you are more likely to notice other factors first before the resolution. Don’t take my word for it, you can simply look it up on the internet and see many articles/studies talking about that.🐶🐾🫡🫂
