Your PC monitor size determines which resolution you need.
| Resolution | Best For | File Size (per 40-min episode) | PC Screen Size | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 480p | Low data usage, slow internet | ~150-250 MB | 13-inch laptops | | 720p | Balanced quality & storage | ~400-700 MB | 14-19 inch monitors | | 1080p | Full HD experience (Standard) | ~1-1.8 GB | 20-27 inch monitors | | 4K | Professional/Ultra HD | ~3-7 GB | 28+ inch 4K monitors |
Recommendation for "NEW" downloads: Stick with 720p MP4 for TV comedies/dramas on a basic laptop. Choose 1080p MKV for cinematic shows like The Last of Us or Stranger Things on a desktop gaming rig.
