Ok building a website that shows photo's that are scaled to fit your browser. With this website I am not aiming at low end internet users that are still dialing in...
My question to you is how small can the photo's be? I myself got a 1680x1050 screen resolution but I can imagine people having much bigger than that so should I make my photo's around 1000px high or even bigger?
What would you do?

Given that there's no top end, you'd do well to not go overboard with these things, so personally I'd not worry about anything beyond 1280 width widescreen 16:10 (if I even went that far).

I had to solve the same problem recently and decided to make the images 1600x1200
It would look a bit fuzzy on bigger monitors, but their owners are used to that. And think of all the fancy netbooks which will render the pics so much sharper! Yum!

detect monitor res and serve larger images to people with higher res.
- could do that go small, big, extra big?Ravdyk
- yeah, you could have 3 sizes and use javascript screen.width and screen.height to choose best sizeacescence
- see below... you only need to check width (unless you want to provide for different aspect ratios/ orientation)kingsteven

I am using 1600px by 1100px on my website. The images enlarge nicely to fit larger displays and is not a bandwidth hog...
