I generally support you on the idea that lower resolution looks better on a sufficient but limited bit budget.


But you frankly cannot make 320x240 look good sitting close to a large 1080p screen no matter what you do. It will just be obviously too soft, even if it was uncompressed 16 bit 4:4:4.

The reason that most 320 x 240 web video looks like crap is that it is bit starved. Encode it properly and it will look as good as NTSC (or VHS anyway).

I suppose with good scaling it would look okay on my 32" LCD as long as I stood at least 30' back. But my living room isn't large enough to find out.
