[QUOTE="zag2me, post: 303006, member: 19691"] Ahh a topic close to my heart :) We had a big discussion on the meedios forums about this when I first built the site. Users cried that they wanted Hi res 2000 pixel images on the site. Technically it isn't actually a problem but the question was asked _why_ do we need them. Lets take a 1080p display. That's 1920 pixels wide maximum if you use widescreen. Now remember that the cover will only ever take up about a third of the screen as people will have movie information and menu items using the rest. Then I wanted the maximum resolution to be slightly different than impawards so people did not simply copy their graphics from site to site. I did a load of tests and 419 pixels seemed to be about the sweet point for good quality covers on HDTV displays. FYI Impawards is usually around 500 pixels wide. Nice covers is around 570 pixels wide. Here is an example of a movie-xml cover [img]http://www.movie-xml.com/banners/graphical/364633-g.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
