Thank you Patrick for the response.
However there will be non-standardized results when tested with laptops
having different screen sizes.
i.e., QA testing on a 14 inch display may get some issues which are
documented and a dev using a bigger screen or at times external
high-resolution monitors may not see those issues.
Couple of organizations follow 1280 px as a standard for 1.4.4 assessment
as well. I have come across a few organizations having different
requirements for viewport something around 1366.
I wanted to understand do we have any agreement as a community or any best
practices for these.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohith
