I don't know what is the most common aspect ratio these days - IMO 4:3 aspect ratio is 'correct', but it doesn't seem like most terminals agree with me these days. SyncTerm allows you to resize the window to any aspect ratio you like, but some other software I have only been able to use in 16:9 aspect ratio as that's 'standard' today.
Besides the aspect ratio differences, I also haven't found if it's possible to specify the size a sixel should be displayed at - ie. should there be scaling applied to it.

I connected to your BBS to take a look, and on my first call was
greeted with a wonderful sixel graphic in your login screen.
Very nice! I reconnected a few more times and saw some of your
other login screens, I like the variety.
I wasn't really aware of this being a "thing" so I logged into
Nigel's BBS to have a look:

This is very cool! I'm going to have to play with this a bit now...

You won't get a sixel image every time. There's a mix of sixel
and ansi images for supported terminals. Non sixel type terminals
will just get the ansi login.
Just an additional note - that behavior is if you have the "Random"
option set in the DDMatrix config file. It can be set to a specific
sixel login that will come up every time.

That's right.
You can also set it to just display sixel on compatible terminals
but I choose not to.

There's also a new option in the new version I released over the
weekend where, when using a random themes, you can have it choose
only a sixel theme for terminals that support sixels.
