4K is dogecoin

When watching podcasts where they show charts, going to 1080p make a big difference on my experience, I always switch.

Unless you show charts, there really isn't a difference, plus many people just listen to podcasts. I pay for my storage costs on nostr, so 720p helps save money.

Think of resolution this way: Do you want to have your eyes process 1/3 more pixels to have the same visual information?

Do you often show schematics or essays on screen that have text smaller than 3/4 the size of the text you are currently reading?

Then no, it doesn't matter.

95% of the time 720p is fine for me to watch on small and large TV’s. If you’re presenting charts/graphics this is where 4K helps. I watch more video podcasts on a large monitor these days. Maybe record in 4K and use Handbrake or a compression video tool if no charts are in an episode.

you need to consider the bitrate. not everyone is on unmetered connection. 4k vs 720p is a huge difference.

1080p is the sweet spot. 720p to 1080p you'll notice the difference. 1080p to 4k a less of a difference 1080p in most instances is more than good enough.

If watching on a larger screen such as a television and on a fast internet connection maybe. But likely not on a smaller device such as a smartphone, and especially not on a mobile network if the mobile operator throttles video. At least in the U.S. , most mobile operators no matter the signal type of speeds throttle video at 480p.

Not so much for the viewer … everyone else on their network will notice the bandwidth saturation. 🤣… especially in more remote areas

60 fps make the difference

Tagging #footstr as they probably have the strongest feelings on this topic

Men, it's a podcast. Not a movie. 720p is alright even if we notice a difference as long as the sound is good.
