Bug Description

When an image is set as wallpaper the resolution of the image gets reduced.

The original image is 3840*2160 pixels and is very clear when viewed in the Image Viewer Application.

However when the same image is set as a wallpaper the resolution reduces and the image becomes blurred and is not as clear and sharp as when it is viewed in the Image Viewer Application.
