Commonly in the release notes some of/all the contained screenshots are apparently taken with an ultra hd resolution (4k or more) and so they appear disproportionate to the text and blurry when displayed in a lower resolution resolution. My monitor is not ultra hd resolution, it's 1920x1200, and so I find such screenshots difficult to visually scan.

Here are some screenshot examples:

Release notes for VSCode v1.60

Release notes for VSCode v1.63

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_63.md

My suggestion is to make it "mandatory" for release notes authors to always use a more commonly used resolution for the screenshots they submit, such as 1920x1080 .

Thank you

Looks like the screenshots are usually taken on MacBook Pro whose Retina display is well-known for high native resolution and high pixel density.

I'm also looking forward to a solution, as it takes a long time to load release notes on poor network connections due to these images.
