  We would like to automatically trigger an HD quality display for our video, which we loaded into WordPress. Our video meets the qualifications for an HD display, but the maximum page width is 918px, so we always get a DVD quality display for our video.

  We tried specifying a larger width as follows;
  [wpvideo UDGQtAyq w=2000 ]

  But didn’t see an HD display until we clicked on the HD icon in the upper right-hand corner of our video.

  Could you please offer some assistance?

  Hi there, under Settings > Media, could you try checking off the box that says “Display higher quality video by default” next to “Default quality setting.”

  Let me know how it goes!

  Thanks so much kathrynwp for your suggested change to the settings. Our high-quality video display is much clearer.
