Cheapest Webcam Sites With High Definition Chat Rooms
High-definition (HD) is pretty much the norm for most viewing options today. From HD TV to online streaming, the days of blurry and poor pixelation should, in practice, be long behind us. When it comes to live cams though, several platforms keep their broadcasting quality low in an effort to keep their prices down. However, other sites realize this needn't, and shouldn't, be the case.
The following sites all offer cheap private cam rates, a prevalence of HD streaming rooms, with some even going all out and offering 4K and even VR capabilities, without compromising on their focus to ensure all-day (and night) low-cost prices.

Finding the perfect cam partner for a private HD cam chat show at these 5 sites is easy and quick. Every site has hundreds, and some over a thousand models online at any one time, all of whom are looking for a new pal to join them for some wild online adventures. CamSoda, Chaturbate and Stripchat are freemium platforms, meaning the performers can take it all off and play for pleasure in their free public rooms. For the viewer, this means you can enjoy a lot of cam room activity in HD, for free.
The other 2 sites, Flirt4Free and LiveJasmin are premium webcam platforms, meaning all the fun activity happens only during paid-for performances. These sites feature leading professional cam models who know exactly how to perform in front of a camera.
Streaming Qualities Available
When it comes to HD, many of the rooms offer options including high-quality SD or HD (780p). Normally the difference between the two streaming qualities is negligible. Many of the semi-pro and almost all the pro cam performers are HD enabled, with many using HD plus (1080p) so you can see their assets in close-up, crystal clear quality.
Chaturbate even has 4K streams available. However, there's only a few with this optimum streaming option. If you see a snapshot with that rare sighting of a 4K sticker, it's worth adding to your favorites so you can easily find the performer next time you visit.
Stripchat is currently the only site with VR (virtual reality) rooms. There's always a strong selection of VR hang-outs available, but obviously, you'll need to own a VR headset to enjoy the fully-immersive experience. If you don't own a VR accessory, you can still enjoy the performance in regular HD.
How To Find an HD Cam Room
CamSoda doesn't have an HD indication on the preview gallery photos, showing if the room is HD enabled. You can go into the site's advanced search engine and on page 3 you'll see the rooms that are HD tagged. However, not all the HD performers use a tag for this. Though, most of the rooms are streaming in HD, and certainly the ones that appear in the first pages of the site are HD friendly. Once you click into any cam room, you can see at the bottom of the live video feed if HD is an option. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find a non-HD room.
At Flirt4Free, you can just hover over a snapshot and a small bio appears with info including whether the room is broadcasting in HD. Almost all do.
Chaturbate makes it extremely easy. You can prioritize your results to feature HD rooms first. Every snapshot grabbed moments before from a live feed also features a sticker indicating whether the room has an HD, HD plus or even 4K option.
Stripchat also has an HD icon on the top left of the preview photo which shows if you're looking at an HD room. And, if you have a VR headset, you can narrow the results to just the VR rooms.
At LiveJasmin, the default setting for any model's cam room is set at high quality SD. In the chat room, the video player may have an HD toggle switch embedded in the video. When present, you just toggle the switch on, and that pumps the rate up to HD780p. To sort out only the rooms streaming in HD, select the 'HD' category from the main category menu.
Savings & Promotions
Most of the major webcam platforms feature savings and specials that'll cut your cam costs even further. Some offer discounts and promo codes and free credits/tokens. Others let you record a paid-for session and let you re-watch it as often as you want for free. And some offer cam to cam dates over a mobile device that you can enjoy from wherever you go via your smartphone or tablet.

Conclusion
One important thing to remember when looking for an HD cam room is that not all feeds automatically come through in the highest resolution. Quite often you'll need to manually select the highest resolution available (or the one that best suits your bandwidth). This can normally be done by clicking on the streaming icon embedded in the video chat window. And, you can of course always lower the streaming quality.
