I totally agree with Roy, thank you. I hope that we can get the discussion back on OP's question (which is timely and very important, and actually not specific to the IDE).
The problem is that our possibilities to test user experience are usually limited. AFAIK students could be participating via their mobile phone... I want to be able to type code, have them read along, open help-pages, discuss the help pages, and plot things. Zoom appears to send out 720p video. That is 1280 x 720 px. If I set my monitor from which I screen-share my R session to 1280px wide, does this mean I will be doing the best I can to reduce anti-aliasing artefacts and improve legibility? Or does it even matter?
