Normal size, never in full screen! And if I'm on my laptop, I put them on 1080p, as my internet connection is really good on there! But if I'm on this computer I literally watch them in the lowest one as it is so slow!

surely if you're watching it in the default player there is no reason to go higher than 720p because the player isn't big enough?

Sometimes you can tell the difference as YouTube auto downgrades the data rate on each resolution. 720P should be around 4-5mbps and 108oP should be around 8mbps. The compression and data rates effects videos more from what I've found. So I generally watch in the highest resolution. This is why I no longer export anything higher than 8mbps as YouTube compresses it anyways. Although I should do 10mbps to compensate for their crappy software.[DOUBLEPOST=1380811164,1380811119][/DOUBLEPOST]

Wait you mean you don't even change the box size? You just outright watch it as is but only change the resolution?

Trick your cat into thinking it's a kitty litter box. Wait don't do that, if the cat wizzes it will get electrocuted I just realised D:
 
I usually watch it in around 360p. Fast loading and it's usually horror video so I can take refuge in the comments if needed.

It's a 2560x1440 27" monitor :) It's amazing having the 3rd size :) this monitors so big I can actually fit 2 of those players side by side ;D maybe a full 1920x1080 player will come eventually because I could fit that on this screen and still be able to do other things like twitter :p

I'm jelly, my monitor is only 1440x900.

I prefer using fullscreen or 2nd option.
