Experience sharper and smoother video quality with the introduction of YouTube TV’s new option, Enhanced 1080p (1080p Premium). This upgrade, previously available on the YouTube website and mobile app, is now accessible on YouTube TV as well.
Users streaming YouTube on their TVs can now enjoy videos with higher bitrate quality and 60fps, promising a significantly sharper and smoother viewing experience. Notably, the Enhanced 1080p quality surpasses standard 1080p60.
Similar to its availability on the website and mobile app, accessing Enhanced 1080p requires a subscription to YouTube Premium. In Indonesia, YouTube Premium subscriptions start at Rp59,000 per month for individual packages.
Google initially introduced the 1080p Premium video quality option in early 2023, rolling it out first to iOS devices before extending it to desktop websites and eventually Android platforms.
The addition of Enhanced 1080p or 1080p Premium quality to the YouTube TV platform enhances the viewing experience, especially on larger screens. However, ensure a stable internet connection to avoid buffering, as higher bitrate videos require fast internet speeds.
