As internet speed is increasing and large LVD TVs are becoming cheaper, people are getting interested towards HD video streaming. Some popular video websites like Hulu, GameTrailers and Gamespot have already started providing HD videos. Now the most popular video website, YouTube is experimenting with 720p HD video.
YouTube already provides an option to view higher quality versions for some videos and you can also append "&fmt=18" to the URLs for the other videos. If you add "&fmt=22", some YouTube videos are now available at an even higher quality, which makes the full screen view a very useful option. Compare:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY (standard format - mono, resolution: 320x180)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&fmt=18 (stereo, resolution: 480x270)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&fmt=22 (new format - stereo, resolution: 1280x720)
But, this hack, does not work on every videos, so you will need to be lucky to find it.
