Youtube quality?

Coming from a pre, I honestly gotta say this phone is a keeper. The only negative thing I've found is the quality of video playback on YouTube. The pre had a beautiful & crisp screen, almost HD quality. Anyone else disappointed with the video quality?

Once you have the video playing hit 'Menu' to get this screen to pop up:

then the 3 dots to go here:

and select watch in high quality

Now if there was only a way to default to the high quality setting I'd be a happy camper.

After switching to high quality, the difference is night and day. Amazing.

Out of curiosity, what's the upside to using the website? The client allows sign-in to your account so all your favorites are there and whatnot. I'm just curious.
