1080p always! Why not? Got decent connection and plenty of space

[Reload]

Unless the 1080p is not toooooo big, i go always for 720p, really decent and enough to enjoy watching.

[Roentgen]

I generally just go for 1080p since I have lots of storage and a fast internet connection.

720p for airing animations. 1080p for everything else.

[Aninda Chakrabarty]

1080p obviously...but you know these per data caps enforced by the ISP is very frustrating...had to go for the 720p  route instead

[Clown]

1080p all the way, the only moment i pick 720p is when there is no 1080p torrent available or its size is over the top

I'm ok with 720p,but I prefer 1080. You have more details.

if you have a television of more than 50 "the difference shows, there are also several factors, who are the encoders, the original medium, I have had 3gb mp4 movies that look much better than 25gb movies (Gladiator) for example, according to my experience for me, I say ... for me, an mp4 is better than an MKV.

I either watch movies on my 43" TV or my 23" monitor if someones is sleeping in the house. I can clearly see the difference between 720p and 1080p so for me only 1080p content. For wife 720p is more than enough. In 1-2 months I'll buy a 4k TV with HDR and Dolby Vision so from that point only 4k content in HDR if available.

 

@Utah there's no difference between mp4 and MKV. Both are only container formats, not codecs. MKV has more features, mp4 is more supported.

Always 1080p - The resolution seems to be much better

I can usually see the difference between 720 and 1080 but if it's a kids show, it usually doesn't matter.  If it's a movie that is meant to viewed in high definition, definitely 1080.

@Fredyjr15 1080p or 720p with higher bitrate than 1080p

[MasterCrane]

720p for most stuff seems to be good enough for my viewing enjoyment.
