Image resolution for website?

Hi gang;

I would like feedback as to what resolution you showcase your website images at.

The currently most popular browser display stat at this time is 1366x768: https://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers\_display.asp

This would suggest it makes the most sense to feature content at 1280x720.

My website is adapted for full-screen so they don’t look great on a 1920x1080 monitor. I could start the epic process of updating all the imagery to 1920x1080 (for those projects that have it) but is it worth it? If most people aren’t viewing at 1920x1080, I am simply slowing down the whole site substantially by adding these higher resolution images needlessly.

I was curious what you guys that are also hosting sites are featuring your imagery at. Same with videos.

Thanks,
-Rich

I use 1600px wide for landscape oriented images. I always compress jpg as much as possible using pshop export. Bandwidth is pretty good for most people now so 1600 is not too wide and it fills most monitors without blank space/letter boxing. Just my 2cents

I assume most of my potential clients will be on an iPad, so I upload 4K images. I use Squarespace, so the images are optimized on the fly. I test it everywhere I go and I have yet to have an issue with things loading.
