YouTube TV is rolling out a new "720p Enhanced" option for select users to boost video quality. This follows their earlier trials with "1080p Enhanced," which aimed to improve picture clarity without increasing resolution.
The "720p Enhanced" setting utilizes a more advanced streaming codec and higher bitrate. This translates to smoother visuals, particularly beneficial for channels that broadcast in 720p.
While some Reddit users on platforms like Apple TV and Roku have reported seeing the new option, it's currently in limited testing. The wider availability of both "108p Enhanced" and "720p Enhanced" remains to be seen.
For some users, the "Enhanced" quality might already be the default, even if the specific setting isn't visible. You can check under "Stats for Nerds" for the code "412" to confirm this.
