Wallpaper resolution poll

Sun Jan 27, 2008, 11:18 PM
Updated, please read below
It's time to revamp my monthly wallpaper resolution list...

Given the increasing popularity of widescreen monitors (not to mention laptop screens) I've decided to revamp my set of available resolutions that I offer each month via my gallery.  If you've got a moment, drop a comment with the resolution you use personally. I'm trying to collect a list so I can see what general set will make the most people happy.  

ALSO... For those of you with dual monitors
What resolutions are you running and how do you display the wallpaper (split it into two or have a single stretched desktop?).  I'd love to get some feedback so I can apply that to my dual monitor wallpapers as well.  Thanks!

I'm with Joe Jesus: still with the far-gone redundant 1024 * 768 here. God bless 17" CRT screens!!

1280x1024, soon x2. And either is fine, one big or two smaller wallpapers.

i agree with ~itharu here:
"Anything that's 16:9 (1600x900+) or 5:4 (1280x1024) is alllll right. I get the feeling most people will alter wallpaper pictures to fit their resolution."

just grab the aspect ratios and upload the largest resolutions you can with the ratio

1920x1200 @home
1600x1200 + 1680x1050 @work

I think today, 1280x800 is the "normal" resolution for the new computers (even for laptop).

It's always better to use a wallpaper larger than the screen resolution (or the same size), you can resize if after. When it's stretched, it's so ugly :/

JoeJesus is not the only person who uses a 1024x768 resolution.

1280x800 on the 13.3" laptop and occasionally 1600x1200 if I feel the need to use the old 19" CRT.

I have dual monitors. One at 1680x1050 and one at 1280x1024. Odd, I know.
