    Thing that gets me. This is the 720p version… surely people would want the 1080p version? Lol

      I have a friend who always downloads the smallest (by file size) copy of any video he can find. He has a 75" 4k TV, 5.1 surround speakers, the whole setup but he downloads 720p in stereo almost exclusively. He says he just doesn’t care about the video or audio quality. It blows my mind, but some people are just weird.

      Edit: Also, Paul is just a funny movie, if you’re into goofy movie references.

      If they’re watching on a phone, 720 might be fine. My preferred resolution depends a lot on what device I’m watching on and its screen size.

      So if you have newer nvidia based card you can upscale to 4K based off 7 20p

      The result is closer to 1440 p
