First of all, it is important to note that the playback quality on the GoPro supports a vertical resolution of 1080 pixels in progressive scan mode. So any device with support of 1080p or less will show the videos at the highest resolution possible on that device.
You need to keep in mind, however, that the higher the recording quality you choose to use on your GoPro camera, the more storage space that will be required for any given recording time period. So if you have plenty of storage space and want your videos to look their best possible on playback devices over the next several years, 1080p is the ideal recording mode.
On the other hand, if you have limited recording space and you've got a 720p monitor without any intentions of a near-term upgrade, you may be better off recording at only 720p.
Also, you should consider frame rates. While having a high resolution image is desirable in many situations, action shots would benefit from a higher frame rate. 1080p videos can only be recorded at 30 fps, while you can record at 60fps on your GoPro camera if you choose to record at 720p.
These extra frames will help you get clearer images during movement.
The high definition capabilities of the GoPro camera are ready to serve your needs. You'll be surprised at the professional recording quality that your videos suddenly have. You can choose between options for recording top notch frames and a lot of moving frames.
