YouTube’s enhanced 1080p playback option is now available on desktop for Premium subscribers. This option, located above the regular 1080p option in the resolution menu, offers a higher bitrate for a better viewing experience. Non-subscribers will be prompted to pay for Premium if they click on this option.
YouTube began testing this premium 1080p version earlier this year, which provides more information per pixel and results in higher quality. The higher bitrate allows for better quality without the need for higher resolution. While 4K is available for some videos, it requires streaming a larger file that not everyone’s connection can handle.
