1Y0-204 User Experience Practice Question
A group of graphic designers report that colors in their CAD applications do not look accurate and that fine lines appear blurry. Which 'Visual Quality' policy setting should the administrator apply to ensure that the image quality is never degraded by compression?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often suggest 'High' or 'Medium' visual quality, thinking it is 'good enough,' but the question specifically demands that image quality is NEVER degraded by compression.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Always Lossless
For users who require pixel-perfect accuracy, such as CAD designers or medical professionals, any level of lossy compression can be unacceptable. The 'Always Lossless' setting ensures that every frame sent from the VDA to the client is uncompressed, maintaining the highest possible visual fidelity at the cost of higher bandwidth.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
High
Why it's wrong here
The 'High' setting provides excellent visual quality and is suitable for most office tasks, but it still employs lossy compression to manage bandwidth. For specialized applications where 'fine lines appear blurry,' this setting may still introduce enough compression artifacts to interfere with the precision required by a graphic designer.
- ✗
Build to Lossless
Why it's wrong here
Build to Lossless is a hybrid approach that sends a lossy image during movement and sharpens it when the screen is static. While useful, it can still show blurriness during the 'building' phase or while the user is actively manipulating a model, which may not meet the designer's requirements.
- ✓
Always Lossless
Why this is correct
The Always Lossless setting disables all lossy compression for the graphics stream. This ensures that the user always sees a mathematically perfect representation of the VDA's desktop. It is the only setting that guarantees no blurriness or color shifts, provided the network can handle the significantly increased bandwidth.
- ✗
Low
Why it's wrong here
The 'Low' visual quality setting uses aggressive compression to minimize bandwidth usage. This is the opposite of what is required in this scenario, as it would significantly increase the blurriness and color inaccuracies reported by the designers, making CAD applications virtually unusable for high-precision work.
