Hello,
Irfanview is really great piece of software for viewing! I however noticed, that standard settings on common monitors (no 4k etc) are a little bit suboptimal when viewing higher megapixel photos.
So I have experimented a bit and found great combination for viewing
1) enable resampling, resampling when zoom and sharpen after resampling in the windowed view mode
2) with sharpening, set the smallest (1) magnitude of this filter for viewing
3) use Hermit filter, disable use fast filter for downsampling.
If anyone wants to have higher sharpness he or she can use 5,7 or 10 for sharpen magnitude, but for me the smallest value on my two monitors (desktop and notebook) works well.
Also Lanczos filter can be tried but for downsampling it is probably unnecessarily advanced and does little aliasing and ringing effects.
It is very good that Irfanview can do Hermit filtering!
With these settings the results are better than standard settings.
