<p>1056*594 = 627 264 pixels.
1280*720 = 921 600 pixels (47% more pixels relative to 1056x594 resolution)
921 600 / 627 264 = 1.469 * 100% = 147% relative to 1056x594 resolution.</p>

<p>2966 kbps for 1056x594 - 43% more bitrate for this video, relative to 1280x720
2073 kbps for 1280x720
2966 / 2073 = 1.43 * 100% = 143% relative to bitrate of 1280x720 video.</p>

<p>What do you think?
I think that with these settings both videos should be approx equals. Maybe the subjectivity of the perception of the human view will make its adjustments in this comparing.</p>

It is supposed to be the same frame from the 2 videos, right? There is no point comparing different frames? How I am to find exactly the same frame in two videos?

You can find the same frame in any video editing software. Or with ffmpeg, as example:

<p>I have two videos: first one has 50% higher bit rate, second one has 20% higher resolution and slightly higher FPS. Which one will look better? I use a 1080p 72 inch 60 Hz screen at 10 feet distance.</p>

I think that file with higher bitrate and higher resolution should look better, with other conditions being equal.

1056\*594 = 627 264 pixels.
1280\*720 = 921 600 pixels (47% more pixels relative to 1056x594 resolution)
921 600 / 627 264 = 1.469 \* 100% = 147% relative to 1056x594 resolution.

2966 kbps for 1056x594 - 43% more bitrate for this video, relative to 1280x720
2073 kbps for 1280x720
2966 / 2073 = 1.43 \* 100% = 143% relative to bitrate of 1280x720 video.
