   Do you have any significant bandwidth limitations ?   
      
   Right click the playing pane, and bring up the Nerd Stats.

   The video is VP9 and is incoming at 640x360 resolution.   
   The connection speed has helped provided 53 seconds of pre-buffer.   
      
   Using YT-DLP, you can list the available formats and   
   download the "best format" without selecting anything.   
   It might say in the YT-DLP listing of formats, whether   
   any actual full HD 1920x1080 content is available.   
      
   The "248" and "251", you should see those in the list of formats   
   available as possible streams to play for that content. When   
   the "Best" format is played by default, a video stream and   
   an audio stream are downloaded, and FFMPEG stitches them   
   together to make an output video file.   
      
   I think it is selecting a low-res VP9 and upscaling it,   
   for my screen presentation.
