It's not just the screen size you render to that makes it HD. When you render, there is a box underneath the current rendered frame with lots of sliders. Those can be used to adjust the quality of the render. I.E. how realistic your shadows, reflections, glossiness etc. are. If you are just doing a quick test render, I'd suggest bringing those down for faster render time. For final, I just leave those on default so the file size is kept low enough.
I think we messed with those a bit at first, but I believe they're back on default now. We will definitely have to double check. Thank you!
