How much of that was music?

well I tend to use the bigger screen sizes 1280x720 usually on full screen. On larger screens the decompression/pixelation issues is less likely to happen while *in full* the game gets shrunk down without too many compression glitches.

the majority of laptops/monitors on the market have more powerful and larger screens so I gear my games towards them.

as for the whole files size debate just use max compression on your png files, shouldn't be much bigger then a Jpg
