To set the maximum width for the content, put html { width:1280px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto } in your monobook.css (adapt "1280px" to the width you like)
That would be html { max-width:1280px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto } to keep it working normally on smaller screens, sorry.
But aren't there inferior popular browsers that fail to support the 'max-width' attribute?
It would be better to use a relative measurement such as em instead of px, to allow for it to rescale if the font size is adjusted by user preference. Otherwise, you can have a situation where somebody sets their normal text to a large size (due to poor vision or an extremely high resolution monitor where pixels are very small) and still ends up with it crammed into a fixed-pixel-width canvas.
