I typically go from width=1920 x height=1080 (or larger but with similar aspect ratio) to width=949 x height=1028

On many sites, this trigger the appearance of the dreaded hamburger menu.

When people lay out desktop sites, 960px is the smallest common minimum design width. Many of these sites are statically laid out, and if rendered with the width of 949px would require horizontal scrolling.

Which they shouldn't be.

Yes, if these sites were not statically laid out, and instead gracefully handled any size they happened to be rendered at, providing a viewport width of 949px would not be a problem.
