Is the image quality bad? What is the reason?
The image quality is actually not that bad. When the service started in the 2010s, many people complained on SNS such as X (Twitter), but now it has improved considerably and is now as good as TV broadcasting. So, I will explain the reasons why the image quality is said to be poor, including the latest settings and specifications.
Internet connection speed is slow
The reason for poor image quality is most likely due to slow internet download speeds. It is a specification that cannot receive the data necessary to display high-quality images and switches to low-quality images if the speed is slow. Therefore, you will need to consult your internet provider first. The approximate communication speed is as follows.
| communication speed | image quality |
| 2.0Mbps | Standard definition |
| 4.0Mbps | HD quality |
| 6.0Mbps | HD quality and high frame rate |
| 8.0Mbps | Highest image quality |
To display the highest image quality, the speed must exceed 8.0Mbps. If your internet connection speed is slow, you may want to try changing your provider.
There is a problem on the DAZN side.
There may be a problem on the DAZN side. This means maintenance or failure has occurred. If there is a problem, there is nothing you can do. An announcement will be made on X (Twitter) as shown below, so it is recommended that users follow it so they can quickly check the situation.
Not compatible with 4K
The current service does not support 4K. There is a possibility that 4K will be introduced in the future, but HD will be the limit. Currently, it is available in either standard definition or full HD. Full HD has the same image quality as Blu-ray and is displayed clearly on computers, TVs, etc.
Image quality is determined automatically
As I explained above, the image quality is determined automatically. The environment is optimized depending on the user’s device and internet environment. Users need to have a high-spec environment and Internet environment as possible.
Introducing ways to improve image quality
Finally, I will introduce some solutions to improve the image quality. Especially if you are a beginner and the video is easily cut off or cannot be viewed in HD quality, please refer to the details.
Turn off data save function
Some services include a data save function. This is a feature that saves data traffic. If it is turned on, the image quality will not improve no matter what measures you take. Therefore, you can expect improvement by turning it off.
Close other apps
No matter how good the specs of your smartphone, game console, or tablet are, running multiple devices will reduce the device’s processing power. Therefore, we recommend that you adjust the settings, remove all other apps and software, and then watch it as a test.
Change Wifi band
It is also effective to try changing the Wifi band significantly. Wifi bands include 2.4GHz and 5GHz. 2.4GHz is said to be suitable for large residences such as detached houses, and 5GHz is suitable for apartments and condominiums. The two bands have different characteristics, so we recommend changing them as it may improve your communication environment.
restart the app
In some cases, the issue can be resolved by restarting the device you are using or restarting the app. If there is a problem or there is not enough memory, restarting may solve the problem. It’s easy to do, so we recommend restarting your computer if the image quality is poor.
Restart Wifi router
In the same case as above, you can also restart the Wifi router. Communication conditions may be improved by simply unplugging the LAN cable connected to the Wifi router and plugging it in again.
Change the location of the Wifi router
Another option is to change the location of the Wifi router. The closer you are to the Wifi router, the better the communication environment will be. Also, the image quality may improve simply by moving to a place with better radio waves.
Wired connection with LAN cable
Wired LAN has higher communication stability than wireless LAN. If you are using wireless, please try using wired to try watching. You may be able to view it in high quality.
Try changing your device
There are cases where it doesn’t work on a smartphone, but it works on a PC, tablet, TV, Fire TV, or game device. This is because the specs change. There is a difference, and it may be easier to watch music, dramas, anime, movies, etc. on Netflix etc.
Avoid times when lines are busy
There is a way to watch while avoiding times when network lines are congested. It gets very crowded, especially during morning commuting hours and from evening to night. If you are not particular about watching the video in real time, you can also watch it on a missed broadcast.
Please make an inquiry
If the countermeasures do not work, there is still a way to contact us. They will give you useful and appropriate advice. Reputation is beneficial because it provides a fair amount of information.
