I can't imagine that many people even *have* such a screen to test things
on. That said, VMWare allows you to create a virtual screen for the guest
OS of any resolution you want, and the Linux/UNIX version of vncserver
allows you to run an X server at any size you want, as does Xnest.

But also the graphics become itty-bitty.
