I dont think that anything lower than like Medium should be acceptable, to not run Medium to high, you have be using a suppppeerrr shitty computer with a hamster for a power supply and a pop tart for a video card. Only acceptions would possibly be like HuK who is forced into a shitty internet provider. Other than that I feel that low setting for SC makes it look like mashed together colors with lego soliders on the field. But that sjust my opinion, I'm just glad that there are Streams for SC2 period.
Ideas are bullet-proof.

I voted standard but I don't think that's what the majority will want.

Oh, well if day9 streams in medium, that's actually what i want lol. oops.

Because SC2 is a better game.

Need? No one needs more than low. People want more and why wouldn't they? It looks better.

I want the stream as high quality as possible because my computer and download speed can handle it. I understand though that concessions have to be made for crappy computers and/or bad internet speeds. So while I voted for Ultra/Ultra I can understand if medium or standard gets a bunch of votes.

As a side note, I don't know of anyone's stream that is 1080p right now. 720 is hard enough!

Pretty much this. If you asked last year I probably would have said low though lol

not sure what day[9] streams at, but being in aus, 480p is fine for me, 720p for on demand, when i can let it buffer then play it later... 1080p is just overkill, and with crappy speeds and quotas, i dont need it!

btw, if anyone says 1080p, your monitor better be able to actually do 1920x1080

(sorry, it's something i've noticed alot recently with people showing me "1080p" video's on a 1366x768 or 1440x900 monitor...)

Low quality is actually preferred for most (myself included) even with a computer powerful enough to run on ultra, it keeps things less cluttered, easy to distinguish units, and overall its smoother as you dont need any fancy dandy special effects. Just enough to know whats going on. Plus I mean, who doesnt like legos?

Though for streaming purposes, high settings are perfect. Ultra is pointless and medium doesn't do much justice to the game itself graphic wise xD

To be honest, having played around with HD/Huskys videos... I don't see that much different between 1080 and 720, especially not a big enough of a difference to warrant the extra file size (my collection of starcraft vods is massive enough as it is) which is why I voted for 720/High, and is also why my own videos are only rendered in 720

To everyone who voted Ultra:

What kind of beastly connection are you running?

imo High is enough.

i normally would have voted for ultra, because my connection can handle it, but i understand, that there are people who can't get a 50 mbit connection easily, so i voted for high.

i think high settings (720p) are a reasonable tradeoff between quality and speed.

720 or better is fine, if it takes a bit I just queue multiple loads and go do something productive
