Profile Banners: What image size works best?

[Balzac]

Finding the correct size (width x height) by trial and error is a tricky process. What is the best size image to use? Answers in pixels please

I used a 4x4 inch square. But then, I only had to center the "Devi" part.

According to the Avatar edit feature:

It is recommended that you use an image that is at least 400x400 pixels.

You have a photo of a mountain landscape. That's the one I need a size for if you have it..
