I understand sharpening can or will pixelate an image; it sounds as if you're saying, that I should display the largest image at the inbetween points, as in between, small and large ?

Another idea that has come to mind is; if retina display requires an image double or triple it's actual size, if it was possible to use this technique on non-retina devices, basically eliminating pixelation since if you take an image and scale it down, you won't loose resolution which will retain quality and you still only need one image.

The problem is when those images are scaled; when an image is scaled between 
small and medium there is pixelation, how can one sharpen the images when, and 
only when there is a threshold between a small and medium image ? I've been 
searching online and the most I found dealt with the img tag, not background 
images.

I’m not sure I understand the problem nor why you think some sharpening will 
work, but the problem is interesting. I’m thinking that increased sharpening 
will only make pixelation worse. What you could do is move the break points, so 
that the largest an image is shown is at a stretch level where pixelation isn’t 
very noticeable. The largest image is typically beyond your control as you 
never can control how big display users will show your design on, unless you 
use a max size which I wouldn’t do as a designer.
