Why does my '4K' video shot on my iPhone look grainy and hazy on my Macbook Pro?
When I shoot video on my iPhone (4K at 60 fps), it looks absolutely stunning on the iPhone's display (iPhone XS Max). However, when I upload it to my computer (2019 16' Macbook Pro) it's so grainy and fuzzy.
I assume it's because of a mixture of my computer screen not fully supporting the 4K resolution and trying to blow the picture up from the size it shows on my phone to the size of my computer screen, but I can't figure out how some youtubers who shoot the same quality videos on the same device get much better quality.
I'll be glad to add additional information as needed and answer questions to try and troubleshoot this issue. Maybe some of you are having the same issues as I am.
Thank you!

The small LCD of the phone tends to hide gross faults of the video. The actual video quality is depicted on the larger screen of the computer. So what went wrong? It's the person who shot the video. That 4K only tells video size. Quality on the otherhand depends highly on the skill of the videographer.
Could it be, do you think, the difference in sizes between that of your iPhone and your Macbook Pro?
