I re-generated the album thumbnails on another RPi at a width of 200 pixels. Since I am seeing 10 albums per line and my PC screen resolution is only 1920 that should look no different than using a width of 400 for the thumbnails as both thumbnails will have to be scaled down to fit on the page.
The difference is small but it is noticeable. That really surprised me. While most of the thumbnails look about the same, some of the printing on the 400 pixel thumbnails is clearer than it is on the 200 pixel thumbnails. Overall the pages seems a little sharper. One very obvious difference was the album Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim. This cover has a giraffe running along the beach. The neck of the giraffe was a bit rough on the 200 pixel thumbnail, but not on the 400 pixel thumbnail.
So while 200 if fine, 400 is just a little bit better on my PC.
On my Gen 4 iPad Mini, the difference is very noticeable as there are only 5 thumbnails per row. The thumbnails look perfect on the iPad.
Cheers, Bryce.
