<div>What's being said is that unless you're situation is similar to the developers' situation, you have to suck it up and deal with it, which means either spending a lot of money on hardware so that you do match, or accepting that the software that they've written to work with their hardware isn't going to be optimized for your particular suituation. Such is life in the FOSS world. Generally, they're a bit nicer about saying 'I'm not wasting my time writing/maintaining code to solve a problem that will eventuallysolve itself by attrition' etc. </div>

<div>I'm not a coder, and since I was sick of the same problem, I made the only change I could to make it work as I wanted, which was to upgrade all my frontends computers to be capable of displaying HD content, though only 1 of my 4 displays is actually an HD display (two are computer monitors that are better than SD, but not full HD). </div>
