1080p60 vs 720p60 for Youtube

[Nilax Productions]

Hello,I am nilax productions and I have a monitor with the resolution of: 1280x1024

and I am wondering,should I record and Upscale it to 1080p(and upload it with upscaled) or Downsample it to 720p(and upload it with only 720p) and I am wondering what is the better option,ive seen big youtubers useing 720p60 instead of 1080p60

What should I do?

1080p so less people complain

1080p60fps, just  to be up to date and stuff

if you have a fairly modern nvidia gpu you could always use dynamic super resolution on less demanding games which would make the image look better at 1080p than just simply upscaling it.

Because of the aspect ratio difference I'd suggest that you play in 720p letterboxed (so no stretching), edit the video to remove the letterboxing (or only record the game) and then upload at 720p60.

 

Upscaling to 1080p probably wouldn't look that great since it's not a 1:2 scale.

 

Edit: but I might be wrong. I just know that 720p on a 1080p screen looks crap so figured the reverse would also be true.

720p60 for your sanity. (markiplier and jacksepticeye still use 720p60) 

1080p60 for people not complaining.

If people are petty enough to complain to a new youtuber about using 720p over 1080p (considering 720p is still kinda HD and there are plenty of people who have to watch in 360 or 480) then that's their loss.

Get a 1080p screen asap if you're going to record things, but record things now in letterbox 720p.

you underestimate the stupidity of the internet

on my 1366x768 laptop screen, in fullscreening vieos or zoomed in theatre mode 480 and 360 looks pretty -okay-

Yes, that's what I'd suggest too, even if there's no difference at all people would complain if there is no 1080p

[clementk]

if you use Nvidia you can set a custom resolution of 1080p and then use the scaling so that it down samples and adds letterbox then you can record native 1080p

[SLOWION]

I'd be more interested in knowing how you plan to tackle the aspect ratio issue. I personally would not watch letterboxed or highly stretched content

[Nilax Productions]

Aspect Ratio would be done by Stretching the video just a tiny bit in sony vegas.

as done here:

IF you have a 1080p screen.Tell me everything

also the reason I want to go back for 720p is becuase of file size.

and please be honest.

Btw: THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ME SO FUCKING FAST,I THOUGHT I HAD TO WAIT HOURS UNTILL SOMEONE ANSWERED BUT NOPE,YOU FUCKED ME OVER BY COMEING IN TOO FAST AND MAKEING ME SHOCKED AND NOW I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR ONLY ANSWERING AFTER A LONG ASS WHILE...thank you senpais <3

I would use 720p looks better than 1080p when you scale from that resulution, and use 60 fps to get a higher bit rate in youtube
