Jimmy B. Murphy Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Normally I choose 1080p versions if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblades Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Didn't matter at 1st considering I was on a 720p tv. Now I'm on a 4k tv and the highest quality is the priority. Also these threads be old as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnook123 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 On my PC I really can't tell a difference but I always go for 1080p because it looks noticeably better on my TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochu Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I usually prefer BD-releases in 1080p and WEB-releases in 720p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiyoshiStar Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I don't really archive anything, but when I do archive/keep a show -- I prefer the best quality possible. Â So if that's 480p then 480p, if it's 1080p then 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricOne Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would never choose anything below the maximum available resolution if I had the choice. 720p might look good now but what about 10, 20 years from now? Â Getting 1080p future proofs you a little bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnighter Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Higher is better but the most important thing for me is the translation group. If there is a 480p file with a very good translation(also hardsub) and a 1080p or maybe 4k with a standard translation, I choose the better translation(480p in this case).

Whosthecoon Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Depends on series but I usually go for 720p unless it's an action series or movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixPress Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I prefer whatever the creators of the show present as being the "way it was meant to be seen." That is, if a show is produced in 720p but shown on television and released to home video as a 1080p upscale, I'll probably take the 1080p version even thought it isn't the "native" format, because that's the way the publisher and developer intended for it to be seen.

kanzaku Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'll archive the best release available, whatever resolution that might be. Generally though, my archive is 1080p content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardlen Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 720p, I like the small file size. I'll never choose 480p cause that's when the quality starts to be noticeable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankT Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 It largely depends, since I don't have a tremendous amount of hard disk space. Usually I go for 720p or 480p, but I do sometimes use 1080p for making Blu-rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerTime Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 If a series is not good enough to be stored 1080p (when available) it's not good enough for archiving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't that a contradiction? If a show was made in 720p (not that I'm aware of any such shows) it was intended to be seen in no higher than 720p...

If a show was made in 720p (not that I'm aware of any such shows) it was intended to be seen in no higher than 720p... A lot of anime from 2000-2010 was made digitally in SD, and so can't be rescanned at higher resolutions, thus only option is to "upscale". Â Anime before that time was mostly animated on film and can simply be rescanned at a higher resolution to be legit HD, as you've seen so many older animation having been done. While anime after this time period mostly is at least 720p, so it's only this one decade that really suffered. Â When it comes to anime however, even in 2018, most anime series are NOT animated at 1080p. We generally get 1 out of every 25 series animated in 1080p. The rest generally being 720p to 810p productions, with some being 900p or some other random resolution. Â Shoot in 2018, we've still had a couple anime series such as Megalo Box that was animated in SD at 480p. Â Regardless of animated/native resolution, they still get upscaled to 1080p for streaming and blu-rays. Â We have a few 4K anime Blu-rays, but all of them are basically 1080p upscales with HDR. I'm not sure if we have any legit 4K anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the content is being produced at 720p, it's being produced with the knowledge that it's going to be upscaled to at least 1080p. In that sense, upscaling is part of the intention.

ochu Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Generally I decide based on the source. WEB = 720p BD = 1080p  Exceptions apply, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramensama92 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 For me, TV series 720p, movies 1080p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
