720p versus 1080p


720p versus 1080p - Size Matters




You hear about 720p vs. 1080p, but which one is better?  Does it even matter?  In most cases watching a video at your home or office in 720p will be great.  If however, you are using a video projector to watch video, 1080p will give you more picture detail.  When it comes to monitors, a bigger monitor will look better in 1080p rather than 720p.



In short:

If you are using a huge monitor  - 60 inches or greater - 1080p will be slightly better.  If you are using a projector, 1080p definitely will be better.  Otherwise, 720p will look great.

Note: it can take more time to edit video in 1080p because of long render times.  You will need to weigh the options to determine if the extra resolution will offset the cost of production.
