Okay i just wasted two CD's attempting this, but just wondering, what should the dimensions of the picture be to make it fit perfectly in the background?

500 x 240 is what I read

That's the size of the images already on the hard drive. But the picture will stretch itself. So you have to change the aspect ratio of your image to get it to look "normal" but that resolution will fit the screen. There is another resolution someone had floating around that fits the screen and doesn't stretch.

I now make my images 480x234 pixels since that is the native resolution of the LCD. I know it's anal but I really notice the stretching it does when it converts from 500x240 to the native 480x234.
