Top resolution for non-native displays at 1440p
Viewsonic VS16261 paired with multiple laptops and around eight different monitors from brands like Acer, Asus, and NEC.
You're not limited by font choices unless you turn off clear type.
You can save the image and view it in paint at full size to check for any interpolation beyond Windows scaling or smoothing. http://i.imgur.com/qBRUlst.png I notice clear sharp edges when using 960x540 on a 1080p display.
I have a Dell UP2516D at 1280×720 and an ASUS PA248Q at 960×600. The colors look different because the microscopes are flipped, making pixels appear in BGR. Display scaling isn’t a 4:1 ratio—just two units on my desk, but I haven’t tested any other screens. No worries, but do you really understand what you’re checking?
So yes, it works. But I’m not sure this pattern fits the task well. I tried another version: Spoiler At full detail it appears as this: Spoiler But at half resolution on my PA248Q (using the same settings that produced sharp lines in your test image), it displays this Spoiler which is interpolated, not 4:1. Improved results on my Dell, almost flawless, though some blurring shows up at the end of the vertical lines. How scaling is managed really depends on the screen. There might be better test patterns available for this situation, but that’s what I had available. Spoiler
I lack a microscope and can't capture images, just a basic semi-macro phone camera with auto focus. It's tough to take clear photos since the autofocus keeps adjusting constantly. On my Viewsonic, you notice two clear, unbroken rows of green pixels only on the horizontal patterns.
On my laptop the Intel graphics card doesn't control the panel at 960x540; it handles scaling in the GPU. It's hard to confirm clearly since the pixels are much finer. The pattern appears altered compared to full resolution, suggesting the driver might be using interpolation.
