How to prepare images for stretching?

I'm trying to make a responsive image carousel but when I upload my image in full HD the image stretch on bigger screens, it looks awful and blurry. Should I save it in high resolution?

If your target is HD screens, then definitely save your images in HD resolution.

Somewhere in the HTML or CSS classes they had a tutorial on multiple resolution handling.

But, bottom line, images cannot be up-scaled more than about 10-20% without getting pixelated.

Yup, save as large as it will be. It can only scale down without losing quality. Not up.
