 * Totally useless for full-width or full-screen sliders, i dont understand how 
   that is so hard to code. Tried to play around with diffrent settings and image
   dimensions but nothing worked, images stayed blurry and slider dimensions were
   always off.

 * Hi [@www89ee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/www89ee/),
 * If you are having issues fitting the slideshow to your site I can gladly take
   a look. We have a support forum to seek answers for this sort of thing. Usually
   it’s the theme that mades it difficult to fit the slideshow in place.
 * As for blurry images, we crop the images to specified dimensions, but we also
   offer support for retina devices via typical WP plugins. You could check out

 * Im sorry for the harsh feedback but i think in year 2018 and with so many plugins,
   its okay to demand some better scalability.
 * I installed Smart slider 3 now for example, chose the full-width option, added
   the same images and it works wonderfully. Images are sharp, the height i set 
   is taken into consideration and everything works as it should with 2 minutes 
   setup.
 * I think its your cropping settings or something that messes up the images. Anyhow,
   i suggest you look over your full width/image dimension settings stuff.
 * All the best, im happy to test it out if you have made some changes.

 * Hi [@www89ee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/www89ee/),
 * These reviews are very important to us, but I understand your frustration.
 * The width/height are meant to be set to the dimensions you want your images/slideshow
   to be. We also have a 100% width option (maybe you missed it?), but images will
   be constrained to the dimensions you specify and cropped accordingly. This allows
   for greater flexibility.
 * Images will be blurry only if the original size is less than the expected size.
   If, for example, you set 400×300 and set 100% width, the image will be blurry
   at 800×600. It’s best to set it to the max width you expect your slideshow to
   be.
 * Another reason we have this cropping system is many users will upload very large
   images, and this optimizes them for their website. This is critical for users
   who upload a file that is 1.8mb without really having an understanding of the
   damage that can do. We take care of it though, making sure it’s SEO ready.
 * Another reason images might be blurry is if your server is a little bit older,
   and missing the required cropping libraries. But in that case you would see a
   notice at the top of the page, so most likely not happening here.
 * If you would like to link here to a page with the slideshow on it I’m happy to
   take a look. I can usually tell within seconds what an issue is.
