When viewing videos in YouTube, most people are already content with the standard videos that are shown as default. If you view a video in HQ, you simply get a video that has a better quality than the standard video.
It has an increased bitrate and the video would look finer. While standard videos have a resolution of p, HD videos have a resolution of p minimum and p maximum. When viewed on a computer screen, HD videos are bigger and would take up more space. HD videos would also look better when viewed fullscreen on large displays. HQ videos as well as standard videos would appear blocky when viewed fullscreen in an HD display. But if you are looking at a small display, like what you get on most smartphones, the two would be pretty much identical.
This is also true if you are using a display with non-HD resolution as the computer needs to downsize the video to fit the display. The downside to viewing HQ and HD videos is it takes a bit more time to load, especially if you are on a slow connection. HD videos are worse than HQ videos when it comes to loading times as the much larger resolutions directly translate to a larger file size. HD videos are typically better than HQ videos, which are better than normal videos.
