Poor Video Quality

[Ourson16]

Hello guys.So i am using a Samsung lt24e390ew Full Hd tv monitor and when i am playing videogames the resolution is perfect,But when i am watching a youtube video or a livestream the resolution eventhough its on 1080p 60fps or 720p 60fps is pixelated and sometimes it feels like you are watching 480p and not 1080p.Is this a problem or i should not worry,because if my tv is the problem i have to buy a new tv-monitor.🙁

Are you sure the youtube video really is the higher resolution of the monitor? Youtube seldom makes higher resolution available...in which case you're stretching a low resolution video out onto a large high resolution monitor. You'd see the lack of source video quality quite easily...if that's the case then there isn't really any solution to magically make low resolution video high resolution quality.

Hello... Typically utube and streams are not all 1080 Original/created source material... so there will be "up scaling" to fill the whole screen... and that could be what your seeing. B /

What i mean by low resolution is that the video i am watching is not as clear as it is when i see a 1080p wallpaper(btw sr for bad english its not my natural language)

Hello... any time you have to "Up scale" from a lower resolution video/stream/picture to your larger Display format... it will look pixelated because your trying to fill information with information that is not originally there... "Down scaling" will look better than 'Up scaling" Typically you can set a TV/monitor/APP not to "Upscale" or "fill the screen" with the material from the original source.

For example watch a OLD 50's 60's movie... the original material will not fill a 1080 screen... and should not display across your whole TV... Unless you have enabled the "up scale" feature of the TV. B /

Movies recorded in "cinemascope" or made for movie theater play will have Wider display material on your screen too and not fill the Top of your screen... unless you change your Display mode on the monitor. Some re-issue DVD's of Old Movies will be "modified' from the original to fill typical modern screens too... leaving out the 'wide screen" effect and the material originally recorded.

Thank you 😀

Even if the resolution of the original seems to match a higher resolution monitor there may be "lossy" compression going on to save network bandwidth. Unless you know a lot about the video source (beyond resolution) it is hard to say for sure...but when you know your monitor is running at higher resolution and scan rate it becomes easier to see defects from any of lower resolution source, lower frame rate source, or lossy compression even in high quality video source. I don't know if youtube does this or not, but sometimes a lower resolution original is advertised at higher resolution and upscaled.

Here's a video which you can click on the gear symbol in lower right and 1080p is available...is this blocky too (default is like 480p, so you must select 1080p if you want that)?
