What Size Do You Make Your Background Images?

I make them approximately 1600px wide (saved for web). Usually they're displayed at about 900px width, but saving them bigger makes sure they look pretty on retina as well :)

 
I do them based on browser display sizes. I take the most popular one and go up one size from that and then optimize the image for the smallest file size I can get so it loads as quickly as possible.

Also if you have a lot of mobile users I typically have a much smaller version I swap in if they're on a phone.
