technical question (youtube watching)

98.220.226.145

I have to admit that I didn't investigate the subject of quality internet movie watching so I have a quick Q's. My laptop is well aged but enough for my needs except when I try to watch youtube films. It's not about the speed but picture quality which is only acceptable in small 5"x4" view screen. Full screen option sucks even in HQ mode (if available).I'm not sure if better screen would bring much improvement since my guess is, the culprit is mainly the resolution and quality of downloads and source material.(I may be well mistaken) What's your take on this issue ?(if it is an issue;)
Regards, W

Lots of things go into this. Speed of internet connection. If that is OK, then not all youtube videos are equal. Some are higher quality when you expand them than others.

If you want to experiment, try hulu.com. Their TV shows look pretty good to me when expanded to full screen. If you don't get decent quality there, it could be due to an low performance video card or even to too slow a processor or too little memory. It makes little sense to do a partial upgrade of an old computer, the costs are so low that replacement is the best option.
