It doesn’t produce a signal over 720p so any type of live sporting event has been looking like shite. I’ve checked all the settings. My internet speed is consistently over 300mbps. I don’t get it. I haven’t really been paying close attention I guess but I finally sat down this weekend and watched some football and was kind of taken aback by the shitty picture.

i'm super confused.

is this a 4K tv?

is the youtube app built in or running from a stick or something?

youtube is fantastic for showcasing 4K HDR eye candy so i have no idea what you're doing wrong unless you have a setting in youtube to keep the quality under 720p.

Pretty sure YTTV does 1080, and I haven't heard any complaints about its picture quality, so I don't know why it would look worse than any other streaming service for most broadcasts. But also, according to this, live sports haven't been using 4K due to covid restrictions.

Due to local Coronavirus ordinances, the networks are only permitted to use a limited number of technicians and camera operators at the games; a 4K broadcast requires more people and infrastructure.
So maybe it's related to that?

Have you tried any other streaming services lately, or have you burned your free trials with all of them?

My TCL 6 displays YouTube TV just as good as Direct TV did.

I don’t have any issues with it.

That’s why I dropped YouTube tv. Once you know how to judge pixels (usually closer you get more obvious it is) it’s hard to justify YouTube tv. Looks like shite above 65”

Did you try changing the channel to see if any others looked bad. It may have just been the channel you were watching. I have Roku TV's in 55 and 65"s everything looks great. Although I have heard certain sports on certain channels look like crap because of the station itself.
