Good morning all,

So I am currently working on a new website and I realized that some of my breakpoints are at 2507px and 2876px. I realized that those may not be neccesary. I was thinking that a better max width breakpoint would be about 1400px but I am not sure. So what would you guys recommend for a max width? I understand that there are screens out that that are huge but I dont need to design for every screen size out there. Im just looking for some tips and recommendations. Thanks!

Don't worry about the max width unless it is needed to keep your page looking correct.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

It's good to set a max-width for the page/s so you know it won't stretch out of proportion on large screens.
Around 1400 is a reasonable size.
