Normally, higher resolutions are always considered to be better. A higher resolution means higher quality images or video.
There are some exceptions where higher resolution can be detrimental. High resolution means more data to store and transmit an image or a video signal. HDTV requires 5 times more data than standard definition signals. That means 5 times the storage space and 5 times the bandwidth for transmission. For storage, it means more disk space in an editor or a PVR. For transmission, it means a bigger part of the total cable or satellite bandwidth. The result is fewer programs stored or fewer channels.
In some cases, older television content that was produced as SD is being boradcast in an HD format. The image quality doesn't get any better because the conversion never adds detail that wasn't there to start with. It does use the full HD data rate though. In this case, higher resolution doesn't mean higher quality.
Sometimes, higher resolution just means running out of storage space faster or fewer channels. So, although high resolution is usually a good thing, there can be reasons why lower resolution might be better, just once in a while.

Is it better to use higher or lower resolution setting to copy a picture?
its better
Why the higher resolution always better than lower resolution?
Generally higher resolution is better but three are instances where increased resolution makes no difference. Text based programs tend to use a far lower resolution than is available. Increasing resolution does not increase readability. Also, using a very high resolution monitor to display low resolution graphics will not make the graphics any better resolution. As high resolution graphics demand a lot of processing power, unnecessary resolution can sometimes take processing power away from other more important tasks. So, while there is no need to obtain the lowest resolution systems, beware of spending more money on a high resolution display if you simply don't need it.
Is higher resolution better than lower resolution on movies?
Higher resolution on movies means that the picture will be clearer than on a movie with less resolution. So if you want a really good movie experience, go with the higher resolution.
Is higher resolution always better than lower resolution and why?
No, high resolution isn't always better for several reasons. Sensor size is very important- if a manufacturer puts lots of pixels on a small sensor images are susceptible to digital noise that when processed out can cause noticeable smoothing of edges and loss of detail; the bigger the pixels in theory the less noise and better image quality. The 100% crops of an image taken from a high resolution camera will be more noisy than a lower resolution on the same sized sensor. But if zoomed out to show the same amount of picture as the lower resolution picture 100% crop more detail will be shown on the higher resolution picture. a comparison of the 16MP D4 and 36.2MP D800 by digital rev goes over this. In terms of compacts the better quality will be achieved by the lower resolution camera (in RAW). This is highlighted with the lumix cameras with low end models have a higher resolution than the model above them. For example the LX7 a top end compact has only 10MP were as the sz1 has 16 or the Fz45 had a 14MP res then was superseded by the 12MP fz48- to achive higher picture quality. Having said all that new technology such as Nokia's pure view tech does a great job of noise management and cancellation in the 8mp jpegs. But generally the bigger the sensor the better image quality from the same resolution.
Does a higher pixel screen mean better resolution?
not really, but it gives you the proportion of, indeed, how many pixels the screen fits in any given square inch.for example if you have two 20" screens, and one has 2,000 pixels per square inch and the other one 7,000 it means that the second one has a higher resolution. this also means that the pixels are a lot smaller.the formula to calculate it is (X2+Y2)/Z2 Where X and Y are the resolution numbers (in whatever position) and Z is the size in inches.
What is better a higher or a lower percentage?
If you are receiving interest on an assett, a higher interest is better. If you are paying interest on a debit, a lower interest is better.
With the mean absolute percentage error is a higher or lower number better?
The lower the better
Is a GPA better if its higher or lower?
Higher. 4.0 is the best.
When I take a picture does a low resolution image records faster than a high resolution?
no they record at the same rate but the low resolution is of lower quality and smaller file size than the higher resolution image.
Is a higher or lower root mean squared error better?
A lower.
A material with a higher or lower R-value is a better insulator?
Higher
