Why do you lower resolution below 1080p? Does your screen not support it or connection bandwidth?

I use only 1080p because my phone screen and pc monitor support it and my eyes still percive difference between 720p and 1080p

I do it too. I do it because our internet sucks and bandwidth is precious. 4k makes everything stutter. Especially if you have more than one thing in the house streaming at once.

That is a technical reason I can agree with.

Dumbing down 4k 'just because' is stupid still.

I do it too because, although I have great bandwidth, 4k on YouTube (specifically) usually stutters for me and I’d rather just watch something unimpeded at a lower resolution. Not that fussed about resolution on a YouTube vid.
