    I found the clarity of videos(for example Youtube or online streaming of TV shows) is mostly dependent on the resolution of the video itself. For example, 360p looks like crap while some videos are saved at 720p, which looks very good.
    Another limiting factor of what you see is of course going to be the max res of your screen itself. Unless you upgraded when you bought, you are looking at no higher than a 1366 x 768 resolution regardless of the source material resolution.
