    That makes no sense. The 24MP RAW files from my camera at 25MB, no way a PNG or JPEG of a 4K (8MP) monitor are anywhere close to that big.

      I did some test, i was speaking from memory so not very accurate.

      it depends on whats on screen.

      Just desktop is 128kb but irl that rarely what i send to people.

      Just my game launcher will bump that up to 5MB

      But the 100% real experience i have is that is try to show someone a screenshot and i get a message that file size is to big so i have conditioned myself to only show the relevant half of my screen.
