My current screens are also 2560x1440 (as are those on my wife's computer). I've resized smaller images (1920/2048 to 2560, and they don't look bad, but I generally try and match the images to the display resolution.
I haven't had the opportunity to play with a 5K monitor, so I don't know if I'd be able to spot any differences. I keep on promising myself I'll do a few tests with 4K images vs. standard HDTV resolution and see if it makes much of a difference. I know that the biggest difference I see between a regular Blu-ray movie and a 4K movie comes from the extra HDR color space when I watch them on our (Sony OLED) 4K TV, but I might be able to spot other differences with a still image. On Windows it's possible to have the background slideshow resize images as necessary to fill the screen, so a 2560-wide image wouldn't just be a small rectangle in the centre of the display. I'd expect IOS to be similar. On Sat, Jan 01, 2022 at 12:23:50PM -0500, Mark C wrote: > HI John - > > Glad you liked the photo. What resolution of images do you use in your > screen saver?
