There ain't no simple answer to that. A simple laptop screen starts at about 1024x768 pixels (dots) so a 72DPI picture to cover that entirely would be about 14 inches by 11 inches. You don't want to cover that much in a web page, because there will be some actual page surrounding the image, plus web browser window frames etc. My wife's 19-inch CRT is set to about 2000x1500 pixels, so the answer for that is about double. Anyone using even larger monitors will be more than accustomed to stuff not fitting. One possible/partial answer is to use some JavaScript to read the window's dimensions & alter the width & height parameters of the <IMG> tag to scale whatever you provide, so it fits. To get really fancy, provide several different images & have your JS select the closest fit & scale that.
