Will a 1080p video look better than 720p on a 1366x768 monitor?

[bxoulidis]

I have a 18.5 inch monitor with a native resolution of 1366x768.I have realized when i play videos in 720p,they look a little bit worse than when i play them in 1080p.Is this scenario actually possible?Thanks in advance!

"Is this scenario actually possible?"

When a 1080p video is scaled down it can actually look sharper.
When a 720p video is stretched to fit a higher resolution it can look like some details are missing or not as clear.

The best scenario is watching a 1080 video on a 1080 monitor so there is no scaling/stretching.
