 > Right. What happens when you have to display an image at lets say 800px?
 You choose the "large" size (1024px by default) and all is good. However
 it displays "fuzzy" on most Macs, laptops and desktops, as they have
 "retina" screens, right? :)

 What should happen is that you upload the image at whatever high
 resolution you need and then use
 {{{
 wp_get_attachment_image(id, 'full')
 }}}
 or similar functions.

 Depending on the value of the sizes attribute, the browser will choose the
 best srcset image to display. I believe if left empty, the browser assumes
 '100vw', but this may depend on the browser.

 Passing an argument different than 'full' would force the widest srcset
 image to be limited to the given image size.

 How srcset and sizes work together, and how the browser chooses the image
 to render, seems to be an often misunderstood topic.
