80 Large Background Websites
As the monitor resolution and internet speed is advancing, it seems like more and more designers use over-sized photo or illustrated image as the website’s background. Large background image can create the stunning visual effect, especially for high resolution monitors. It can also add more life to your site design compared to the traditional tiled background graphic. Here is a collection of 80 websites that used large image as the site background (must-see, you won’t be disappointed).

nice list!.. some of the sites were really cool and taught me a lot of things. One site i’d like to mention in the list is youlove.us . inspected their site on firebug, saw the background positon of the body was non stop changing. The background image itself was kind of scrolling up. Is that the work of jquery? Help me out here plz..
