Why does HD on Youtube usually not look that HD at all? It still looks messy on fullscreen and only decent in really, really high quality videos on normal sized screen.

    From what I've noticed, changing the quality to 1080p doesn't do anything until the connection is fast enough to load it. Try skipping half way trough a video after setting it to HD.

    Well my connection is pretty crappy here at home. My screen is 900p but sometimes setting it to a higher resolution indeed helps. And what Chrop says makes sense too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK3NuxO3Ke0 this video looks pretty wonderful in HD, and still pretty decent in full screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m3atzP305o this still looks like 480p, when set to 720p.

    What I also noticed is that when watching movies downloaded from Torrents (that say bluray rip, HD tv, 1080p etc.) still look very blurry to me, especially when viewing on my HD tv.
