The game has three scaling modes: Original, Full and Wide.
All modes will stretch the game resolution using bilinear scaling as following:

Original scales the image up to the greatest integer scale below the screen resolution.
Full stretches the game vertically to fill the space, then horizontally to stretch into the screen aspect ratio.
Wide simply stretch the game to fit the whole 16:9 area.
As of the January 2023 update, the --display 720p and --display 1080p can be used to render the game in a resolution lower than 4K.^[1]
