How about an HD image size?

Currently the image sizes include:
'X3Large (-X3) Up to 1600 Up to 1200'
Most monitors are now 1920 x 1080.
How about another image size like:
'X3WLarge (-W3) Up to 1920 Up to 1080'.
I think this would reduce load as users would not have to download the original to fill their screen or TV.

I conducted an experiment and uploaded a 16 x 9 aspect ratio full size picture from my camera with dimensions of 6000 x 3375 pixels.
Even that only plays in the Gallery Slideshow at 1600 x 900 not even coming close to filling my 1920 x 1200 monitor.
I have many pictures I sized to 1920 x 1080.
Up until recently the Original Size was one of the available sizes in the gallery slideshow.
Even if X4 and X5 sizes were added it still wouldn't repair my carefully crafted slideshows using pictures that would not need to be rescaled.
All these years the Gallery Slideshow would play my 1920 x 1080 pictures edge to edge on that same monitor.
So much for...
"The nine sizes of smugmug
Most photo sharing sites shrink your originals to save space. Not us.
With SmugMug, you get to keep every pixel forever and show them as big as your screen will allow."
All my pictures at various aspect ratios are all made with a vertical height of 1080.
1920 x 1080, 1593 x 1080, 779 x 1080, etc.
Now that smugmug has stopped using the Original Size as a display size in the slide show I can no longer view my gallery slideshow at 1080 vertical size.
Over the years I have processed thousands of pictures at 1080 vertical.
