iPad Pro Poor video resolution from Internet sites

[Jacunivac10]

I just upgraded from the iPad air and have the new 12.9 inch iPad Pro. When viewing videos on the Internet such as a news website, the video is terribly blurry and fuzzy. It used to be gorgeous on the old iPad air. Is there a setting I missing?

Maybe video hosted on site is low quality? How’s the quality of local video? Do you have a nice internet connection?

You could test online video playback performace by viewing a YouTube video and comparing the different quality settings.

OP, I mentioned in my non-optimized app thread about this same issue.

I was browsing YouTube using safari with the units from Apple Store and even 720p video look horrendous on the 12.9".

Was wondering what's the minimum acceptable quality for a 10.5" and 12.9" display respectively.

I've been facing the same issue on my 12.9 specifically on Youtube.

The videos always default to lower quality like 480p and I have to manually switch it to 1080p.

I can't seem to find a setting which would make it default to 1080p

Can I check if 720p videos look bad on 12.9" full screen?

For me, 720p is the minimum acceptable quality for my iPhone 7 plus and iPad Pro 9.7", so am wondering if I do upgrade to 12.9", is the minimum acceptable now 1080p?

Why not post up examples so others who aren't having these issues can see what you're talking about.

Are you in safari or the APP ?

I'm in the app

And dumb question: you adjusted the resolution "quality" in the app?

I end up having to change the "quality" for each individual video I watch.

I tried looking for a setting in the app that would change the default altogether but I couldn't locate it.

In your case I believe it's YouTube app issue.
They seem to be prioritizing fast loading using smaller resolution in the latest update.

I am seeing the same behavior on my end.
