144p

144p refers to a video resolution with a vertical pixel count of 144 pixels. This is a very low resolution by modern standards, often associated with early internet video or low-bandwidth streaming. The horizontal resolution typically varies but is usually proportional to maintain a standard aspect ratio, such as 256x144 pixels for a 4:3 aspect ratio. Videos at 144p are characterized by significant pixelation and a lack of detail, making them unsuitable for viewing on larger screens or for content requiring clarity. In the context of online video platforms, 144p was often offered as the lowest quality option to enable playback on very slow internet connections. While largely obsolete, it represents a historical step in the evolution of digital video streaming.
