Both (half and half). On platforms where "1px" maps to one device pixel,
such as low-res monitors, the UA is allowed to approximate in a UA-defined
manner. CSS does not attempt to specify how implementation should
approximate the "perfect" rendering when taking into account device
limitations. (For example, it also doesn't say what should happen if the
device can't render "blue" and "red" as different colours.)
