Why do you think it wouldn't work for a JPEG? I just made one like that, and it worked just fine.

JPGs are lossy encodings; my use-case would definitely not work with JPGs, not matter how high you put the quality.

For testing a display (like displaymate does) you literally want to light up specific pixels with specific colors. You can't do that with JPGs.
