Hmm not convinced that's the same thing. Desktop user here, well laptop but you know what I mean. For as long as I can remember the quality of images has been crap, and I believe it to be deliberate for cost cutting purposes. anonymous said:

Yep there's no denying it can't use high res images, but the post from OP mentioning blocky photos suggests it's much worse than just the standard low res PHness.I mean, this looks okay to me, although obviously not the best picture taken by the advert owner and not high res, but its not blurry (to me, on my screen, anyway):
Whereas this, is obviously awful and unacceptable (from that thread):
Brought here by the frankly atrocious JPEG artifacts on the Panamera E-Hybrid article.
The images used are obviously from a press pack and undoubtedly the originals are of reasonably high resolution and good quality. Manufacturers rarely drop the ball on stuff like this, much less Porsche.
As such, the same images are used by many outlets. Here's how the expanded "high resolution" images used by PH compared to the same shot used on Autocar's site (PNG so I hopefully avoid any further image degradation, but with the "beta" image uploader who knows, eh? Might have to click to see full image on Thumbsnap).
I reckon Mr Magoo himself would be able to see the blocking round the Porsche badge.
Apart from the very obvious excessive compression, quite why PH persists with using such small photos in 2017 is another mystery.

Looking pretty poor to me too in all my browsers ...

PNGs rather than compressed JPEGs might get the job done better. This seems to be the digital standard according to my millennial techy friends.
