What is YouTube's "Original" Quality Option?
Jun 11, 2014Web and InternetComments (2)
Prior to offering 1440p and 2160p, YouTube used to show an "Original" quality option on videos that had a resolution greater than 1080p (larger than 1920x1080). For example, if the uploaded video was 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 in resolution, it would show the "Original" option in the video player. This also included the 4K Ultra HD resolutions.
Since YouTube now has quality options specific to 1440p HD and 2160p 4K, the "Original" quality option may no longer show up.
