Standard Quality trailers:
- small. although you chose the big one
- low definition... not high as HD
- buffer faster than HD

High Definition trailers:
- clear, high definition
- sometimes its slow to buffer if you choose the 1080(as the size is bigger)
- its big !!! with the 1080
- if you have a big monitor, you feel like you are watching a movie
- if you monitor is not big enough.. at least 20"
or the 1080 doesnt really fit to the screen
