Actually, I might not be right about not having problems. I seem to
default to 240 or 360p, and since I then switch it straight to the
highest resolution possible, usually 480 or 1080, have assumed anything
in between is ok. Since I figured 1080p is likely to be the worst, I've
always skipped over the 720p version when it has been available.
