Windows 10: How low can the Windows 11 resolution be on additional displays?

Hi! I just have a small question about Windows 11. I’m planning to do a small gaming project of mine and I plan to embed a small display on it. May I ask how low can the resolution be? I’m planning to go as low as 320x240 but I don’t know if Windows would crop it or if it will just not look right. The way I picture the screen is just for stuff such as looking at the time or even just using it as a separate display for retro games.
