True. What I was thinking - and did not write (bad) - is that if the pixels are the same size (which they are not in the 1920 vs 300 example) the 300 4:4:4 pixels would be better.

In my mind there are two discussions here. Image size (the pixel grid so to speak) and the sampling quality of each pixel in that grid. A higher density grid will give better total image resolution. I have been focusing on the sampling quality which is nicely shown in the email from Victor with the charts.

Define "Better"

In the below example the 1920 image will give SIX TIMES the horizontal resolution of the 300x300 image, but each pixel will only have half the chrominance resolution. 6 x 0.5 = 3, so the 1920 image will still have THREE TIMES the chrominance resolution of the 300x300 image.

But the individual pixels of the 300x300 have more color information EACH than the later image. And you would get a better key from the 300x300 image.
