Hi Ivan
FULL HD (1920 x 1080) is the max supported resolution. Do not start the exam on a display with higher resolution set, you would end up with small desktop framed with big black borders.
I am not aware there are plans to higher this limit. The reasons are two in my opinion.
1. Candidates should have at least similar conditions. Not all of them have have high-res big screens available.
2. Technical limitations with transferring, recording and proctoring of the exams

I downloaded the new iso to do my EX288 exam. Compatibility checked failed....not enough memory on computer, I had to reschedule and buy new computer. Word of advice -- please run compatibilty test way ahead of exam if you recently downloaded the new iso.

Yes, unlike the olders ISOs, the new version requires 8GB RAM at least

Hi @PetrCihlar 

Is the old ISO still accepted? If yes, do you have a sense of until when?

My "exam" PC has only 4GiB of RAM and I have an exam scheduled in a couple of weeks

Redhat exams and other simliar certification exams from Microsoft and IBM etc will be considered for employments and  job promotions in  Technology industry. That means it has impact on the life of the people and communities. So it must have control of govt agencies to ensure the credibilty and its purpose. Similar to the exam regulatory agencies in many countries. Does  Redhat exams is having anything like that?
