YouTube TV, the popular streaming service that offers live and on-demand TV from over 85 channels, has recently introduced a new video quality option for its subscribers: 1080p Enhanced. This feature improves the picture quality of some 1080p channels by increasing the bitrate, which is the amount of data that is processed per second. A higher bitrate means more details and less compression artifacts, resulting in a smoother and clearer viewing experience.
The 1080p Enhanced option is available to all YouTube TV users and does not require an additional fee or add-on package. However, it does require a 4K-compatible streaming device that supports Google’s VP9 codec, such as the Apple TV 4K, Chromecast with Google TV 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K, or Xbox Series X. Users can access the 1080p Enhanced setting by going to the video quality settings and selecting the option when available. The option will be automatically applied if the preferred video quality is not set to 720p or standard 1080p. The 1080p Enhanced feature is especially beneficial for watching sports, movies, and other high-motion content on YouTube TV.
