LCDs work best at native resolution.

that does not apply when the pixel size is smaller than what the eye
can resolve, as it is with hi-dpi displays.

I would not be
thinking about "aspect ratio" with an LCD monitor, because
good options are pretty limited.

different aspect ratios means either letterboxing, stretching one
dimension to fit or clipping, none of which look good.


Not if the other chosen aspect ratio is the same as the native resolution.

Exactly what I was looking for when I was experimenting. None of that
happened. You can't count windows that are too large when switching to a
lower resolution.

No letterboxing at all,
