Is there any actual reason to download 1080p anime when most anime are still produced at 720p?
>>
>most anime are still produced at 720p
900p, actually
>>
Most anime aren't produced at 720p. They're between 720 and 1080, so 720 is a downscale. And an increasing number of anime are produced at 1080.
>>
To take up more space.
>>
>>287543380
yeah, your monitor being 1080p is a big one
720p anime are downscales that your player then upscales to 1080p to fit the screen
I'd rather watch a 1080p upscale of a 900p anime than a downscale that is then upscaled again
>>
>>287543380
IIRC some sources like Funi compress the shit out of their 720 videos so they actually look even worse. I vaguely recall some anon saying it was a simple fix that they refused to do.
>>
>>287543480
What if I watch anime on a projector?
>>
>>287543519
You don't care about quality, so why are you asking?
>>
>>287543519
then whatever the resolution of your projector is
check the box or the manual
>>
>>287543414
I wasn't aware of this. Why are they produced at these resolutions? Why not 1080p? Nobody really uses 720p anymore, even poor people in third world countries usually have 1080p screens
>>
I browse /a/ while watching anime so 720p works for me.
>>
>>287543380
yeah, if you watch anything for the action scenes or any kind of intricate animation. less resolution means there's less to work with when it gets compressed so details just turn into mush.
>>
>>287544558
for comparison
>>
>>287543380
because the 1080p one has more seeders and I'm too lazy to figure out if the lowers seeded 720p one is faster or not
>>
>>287543380
You can tell which anime are still produced in 900p because they clearly look like shit
You zoomers can have nostalgia about the battle harem that popped your first boner in 2016, but some these days is simply better if only because more resolution allows for more style and everything just looks better
>>
>>287543380
The human eye can't distinguish either
>>
>>287546347
Acquire eyeglasses.
>>
>>287543380
No, upscales will always be inferior, you get anything above 720p for BDs, but even BDs most of times are stuck at 900p.

>In an experiment involving 10,000 participants, researchers set out to examine whether individuals could reliably distinguish between video resolutions. Participants were shown a selection of clips, some presented in 720p and others in 1080p, and were asked to identify the resolution of each.
>The findings revealed a striking result: only 1.3% of participants were able to correctly label the videos. Across the entire sample, the average number of correct identifications stood at 42.5, suggesting that most viewers struggled to consistently perceive the difference between the two resolutions.
>These results highlight how subtle the distinction between 720p and 1080p can be for the average viewer, calling into question common assumptions about perceptible improvements in video quality.

If you don't see the major oversight you're making with this statement it's because you literally only watch anime on your 720p obamaphone

The highest academics of theoretical physics are struggling with how they can make their lambda cold dark fire breathing invisible dragon in my garage model work with quantum mechanics and observable reality so they don't have to tear up the last 50 years of research and start from scratch, and niggers are still out here trying to get you to take the Pepsi Challenge seriously

>fake paper
go fuck yourself I was actually interested
and buy some glasses
