 Thanks for the info.



 So, I've been giving this a bit of thought as I work on another
 photographer's website and ensuring it works on everything from mobile to
 27" monitors.
 I do think we need to go to 2000px wide. I haven't looked at a 27"iMac
 Retina display yet, but I think it can get pretty bad with a 'large' image
 stretched all the way. My non-retina 27" is 1920 pixel resolution, and it
 gets pretty fuzzy.

 So, what if:
 Full becomes Original. (but keep 'Full' for backwards compatibility).
 Large stays Large.

 But we add two new default, optimized sizes:
 Oversized = 1500px wide
 and
 Fullscreen = 2000px wide

 It'll be nice to have the 1500 as an extra size for Src Set. And at 2000px
 wide, at least images won't look super blurry on a full width iMac.
