I know; but do what retina image do for retina display.

    If there was an intelligent method that would only feed the large
    image; when it was between the threshold (small <-> medium),
    typically on a phablet or tablet device, load it into the browsers
    cache and the user is good, unless there is a change to the image,
    or the user clears there cache, which I know some people are
    notorious for doing cache cleaning, upon browser close, which I do
    on my desktop browsers but you can't assume all, or you have to
    atleast hope, not all.

        I understand sharpening can or will pixelate an image; it
        sounds as if you're saying, that I should display the largest
        image at the inbetween points, as in between, small and large ?

        Another idea that has come to mind is; if retina display
        requires an image double or triple it's actual size, if it
        was possible to use this technique on non-retina devices,
        basically eliminating pixelation since if you take an image
        and scale it down, you won't loose resolution which will
        retain quality and you still only need one image.

                The problem is when those images are scaled; when an
                image is scaled between small and medium there is
                pixelation, how can one sharpen the images when, and
                only when there is a threshold between a small and
                medium image ? I've been searching online and the
                most I found dealt with the img tag, not background
                images.


            I’m not sure I understand the problem nor why you think
            some sharpening will work, but the problem is
            interesting. I’m thinking that increased sharpening will
            only make pixelation worse. What you could do is move the
            break points, so that the largest an image is shown is at
            a stretch level where pixelation isn’t very noticeable.
            The largest image is typically beyond your control as you
            never can control how big display users will show your
            design on, unless you use a max size which I wouldn’t do
            as a designer.
