It's wild to me that in 2022 people still aren't used to consuming HD media.

720p does in fact count as HD. Either that or you don't remember SD content. :)

I watch things for the story, not the pixels :)

Those pixels add up to a beautiful experience, particularly if you're watching something like Too Old to Die Young.

I think you need enough pixels to convey the story / vision of the artist. More is better but there are diminishing returns above 1080p and most of us just don't care lol
