I just set it up this afternoon and I have it set at 800 x 600. I am
running the browser in "kiosk" mode so it will fill the whole screen with no
toolbars, etc.
I twiddled around with it this afternoon and figured out the proper
dimensions at this resolution.
thanks!

This sounds like the type of request our clients give us;
"I want the logo to be about 2" wide"
What resolution?
The screen resolution is the most important thing here - if the graphics
card is running at the right res, then it's only the browser width you have
to worry about - try un-maximising your browser and set it to the same scale
that your display screen will be...
If the person running the screen says "Well, it's 42 inches wide" you have
to wonder if they think that a 42" TV screen shows different pictures than a
28" TV screen...
