Default [Q] Optimum Wallpaper Resolution for Galaxy Tab?

Wondering what resolution wallpaper should work best on Galaxy Tab? the native display resolution is 1024x600. If one scrolls 5 to 7 screens left or right a 1280x1024 wallpaper should work fine. Anyone toyed with resolution on wallpapers?

Rule of thumb with Android wallpapers is to use 2X the horizontal resolution and 1X the vertical resolution for the best results in portrait mode. In the case of the Tab that would be 1200x1024.

Use 1920 x 1200 - taken from default_wallpaper.jpg out of framwork-res. After trying a few different things including wallpaper wizardrii and wallpaper slideshow i am now using this rez. No probs at all, just the right size.

go to market. find the app called "wallpaper maker". make sure your rez is 1024x600. load your wallpaper in wallpaper maker and move it to the top of the square. it will make it fit landscape.perfectly. Been using it for a while now. No issues.
