It's displayed as 960x260, but has 4x4 pixelation. That suggests something squeezed it to 240x65 then re-expanded it.

So do as thesacredpath suggests. Make a crop of your 1280x960 to a size of 960x260 directly. If that crop sizing isn't the view you want, make a resized copy of the original 1280x960 and try to crop that to 960x260.

The wordpress crop and resize leaves a lot to be desired.
