    I do wear glasses and I came here to post exactly your first sentence. There probably is a difference, sure, but I personally can’t see it unless I put both files next to each other and really try to see it.

    I’ve been digitising our movie collection so I played around with resolutions to minimise the storage space needed - I did settle on doing everything in 1080p but mostly because it feels weird to use a resolution the internet tells me is bad and I’m vulnerable to peer pressure (voice in the back of my head “oooh but what if anyone ever looks at those files?? What’ll they think???” type nonsense).

    I also had a few files that came in much higher resolution that I re-encoded to fractions of their file sizes and honestly same effect.
