The videos look a bit blurry to make. Making it hard to read the code sometimes.

Yeah, quite a few students have mentioned about this issue in the past as well, but right now there isn't much we can do except waiting for Treehouse developers to implement a more HD video streaming. cc Aimee Ault , Geoff Parsons , Kyle Meyer
In the meantime, a temporary solution I'd suggest you to try is, max your browser windows, or watch video in full screen, that should make the video look a bit bigger and nicer.
If you are still not very satisfied with that. You can click on the Download tab below the Video
If you are using Google Chrome, clicking the High Definition Video won't actually download the video, it'll play the video in-browser instead, that video is in HD quality and you shouldn't have the blurry problem with it.
Hope that helps. Cheers.

/download?hd=yes
Hopefully that helps.

We're definitely aware of stream quality in certain situations. We're working on it!
Thanks for being students. Keep up the excellent work.

I tried the HD version in the downloads section and the same problem. I think when this was recoded the zoom setting on the browser was waaayyyy to low.
