Full-screen mode and video resolution

When you watch videos in full-screen mode, you are watching a blown-up version of the original file. Switching to full-screen mode does not convert video to a higher resolution. If you watch a video encoded at 640×480 on a 1920×1080 monitor, you will notice some pixelation.

If you know that your clients will want to use full-screen mode, you can avoid loss of quality by encoding your video files at higher resolutions. Increasing video resolution, however, makes you files bigger and slower. See our video encoding guide for more information about choosing your settings.
