High-quality videos can give you a better streaming experience. On Netflix, you have an option to set the video quality of downloaded shows to high. Netflix offers both Standard and High Quality for videos.
Standard Video Quality on Netflix will give you a good video resolution. But, don’t expect a full FD experience. You can get a fair quality, usually at 360p or 480p, which is already good if you are using a mobile device. The main advantage of the Standard setting is the less storage space it requires when loading the video. You also need less download time.
The High Quality setting on Netflix offers a full HD streaming experience when watching on your devices. You get up to 1080p resolution, which is ideal for movies with more animation or graphics. Still, High Quality entails more storage space and download time when you watch your content offline.
Netflix offers its users the option to manually set and control the video quality of the movies and TV series they download to watch on their devices. There are different ways on how to change the video quality settings and make Netflix use HD or Standard quality videos. Check out the steps below.
