When building a responsive website, how do you ensure that the images stay crisp when viewed from a large screen such as a 32in computer monitor or a 55in LED television?

1,457 PointsYou will need to have a very large image file in order to ensure crystal-clear quality on a large device such as a TV. This will result in (much) longer loading times, but obviously looks very nice when loading has finished.
In order to cut down on loading times on smaller devices, you should take advantage of CSS media queries. Bootstrap's documentation provides instructions on how to implement these. If you want to create a specific media query for say, a 4K television, you can do that as well. You just need to know the standard resolution; use 3840px x 2160px to be safe.
@media (min-width: 700px) { ... }
Within those media queries, you would call your css classes and specify the images from within them.
