Personally i only use local artwork and therefore can't speak much on scraper config like Artwork beef etc.
But, generally speaking:
When scraping artwork (posters, fanart etc.), KODI by default resizes and saves all the artwork it fetches with bicubic scaler to a maximum height of 1080px for fanart and a maximum of 720px height for all other artwork like posters etc. (See wiki advancedsettings "fanartres" and "imageres")
For the test builds these defaults have been changed to a minimum of 1080px height for both values while using lanczos scaling instead of the old default bicubic (advancedsetting "imagescalingalgorithm").
If you got a native 2160p screen and decent hardware for running Kodi, you may even could change imageres + fanartres via advancedsettings to "2160" while using the test builds. (Avoid such a high setting when using original Kodi builds)
I recommend using the test build with a copy of your userdata.
