Windows and chrome on 4k monitor yields 1.5x resolution

[David Daeschler]

Using a 4k monitor and chrome on windows, retinajs attemptes to load images with @1.5x appended rather than an integer value like @2x.

By quick source inspection, I think this means window.devicePixelRatio is returning 1.5.

In this case, a simple change of:

const environment = hasWindow ? (window.devicePixelRatio || 1) : 1;
to
const environment = hasWindow ? Math.ceil(window.devicePixelRatio || 1) : 1;

Would fix the problem

For reference, this behavior was seen on a Dell P2715Q 27-Inch 4k monitor

Agreed. I actually noticed this by chance, seeing some rather odd 404s for images which retina.js was looking for because of a non-integer window.devicePixelRatio. I've no idea what device they were caused by, but there's no way I'm going to cater for this kind of request (these are real)...

If we need to cater for rational number devicePixelRatios, these would surely have to be defined as a finite list at initialisation.

(retina.js v2.0.0)

For me, Chrome on Windows 10 uses Windows scaling ratio. For example I use 1.5 (150%) so browser identifies my resolution as 2560x1440, but I have 4K monitor with resolution 3840x2160. I have tried retina.js 2.1.0 but it did not work at all (seems to be already reported) and with retina.js 2.0.0 I got request from server for @1.5x picture. Seems to be right, but I don't want to have extra image for 1.5 ratio.

Not sure if this is an issue, looks like a feature. But I would prefer having 3 images on server (original, 2x and 3x) and not for (+1.5x).

Maybe someone has a solution how to set ratios to be "integer" instead of "float"?
