http://wallpaper.panedia.com/wallpaper/category/free/

We have more original dual & triple monitor wallpaper than just about any other website there is, and every single one is cut up for use on single, dual & triple monitor Macs & PCs from 800×600 to 2560×1600, plus heaps of them are free… and there is a new one made free for 24hrs every week day.

Anyhoo… maybe you’ll consider us for next time :)

NICE! Thanks SM!

Amazing! might wanna ask permission next time for linking to their pictures……

Nice idea. I like it.

Great collection of resources! Thanks for adding my article as a “Further reading” one.

You guys will need to fix that “Remote hosting” thingie ;) .

hotlinking in a blog that has as much readers as this? shame on you!

Thanks for featuring my wallpaper not once but twice. :) (linking to the download page download page on my blog would have been even more awesome)

Any link to the orginal source on the Famous People image, just want them to know it totally rocks.
Nice collection.

Again, excellent wallpaper show off :D… Like such articles where I have many great wallpapers at one place :D

Very nice wallpapers. Too bad I don’t have a dualscreen.

To stretch a single image across 2 or more monitors, try this Lifehacker article http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/make-the-most-of-your-dual-monitors-317479.php (and google throws up some other good info too: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+strech+image+across+dual+monitor&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Hello there, nice post thanx !

For the guys who search how to use it on windows dual screen, I found it !

In fact, you have to open photoshop (or similar) and merge the two wallpaper. And then, go to the screen parameter , choose your big wallpaper and choose Mosaic ! It works on my screens.

Sorry, I’m french, and not so good in english ^^

Have fun,

To have your image go across both monitors in XP:

First off you’ll need the background to be one big image. I’ve got 2 1280×1024 monitors, so I needed a 2560×1024 image.
Next right-click on your desktop -> Properties -> Desktop -> [ Browse ] for the new image, choose Tile in the position dropdown (important!)
As if by magic, windows will split your image across both screens.

Only problem is if your primary window (the one with the start button) is to the right, you’ll have to cut the image in half and put it back together as one big file with the halves the wrong way round. What, you expected Windows to do something completely properly?!

Really nice collection….

I usually looks around for widescreen & dual screen wallpapers.
Again, a nice list.

Love em’! But I tried some of them – and they do not work, even after I slapped the setting to “tile” – simply too small for i.e. like the Venice shot. :(

Well, not off that bat at least – maybe some Photoshop is required, not just the “Set as Background” option :D

Nice collection. If only I could keep all these applications (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Outlook, etc.) minimized so I could enjoy them.

Great stuff, but how are you supposed to actually get them to stretch across two screens on Win XP? Is it possible???

very nice collection

Great Collection

Quite alright, thanks for your prompt response.

Also make sure to visit zixpk.com for some really great HD Wallpapers!

I appreciate the work gone into compiling this collection but I don’t get it, these are dual screen but almost all your thumbnails are 16:9, they should be 32:9. At least give a proper representation of the design. There’s a few designs here where the main focus is right in the middle (so split between both monitors) ..that’s NOT good design.

Muy buen post

there’re a lot of epic anime walls too, but the scenery and cosmic walls are incredible

Some beautiful images here, but I personally prefer to exploit the fact there are two monitors. I have dual monitors at work and use two different (but related) images on each monitor. Generally, dark images on the left and light images on the right. Just my two pence..!

Seem the last picture (Famous People Painted) made by a Chinese. I have seen this pic before and I see have too much Chinese there.
One big missing is Ho Chi Minh – a Vietnamese great, a big friend of world, is not deal in this picture.

( sr for my eng )

Very nice …!

Great collection!

Anyone know if a poster print of “Famous People Painted” (http://img2.socwall.com/Art/General/200718113311-4877.jpg) is available for purchase? If so, do you know a web site that may sell it?

Thanks!

Your dual-screen wallpapers are truly amazing! Though I don’t have two screens, I could still use it on my single-screen laptop. That’s wonderful….

Patterned wallpaper is a great way to get a high rez background with a smaller file size. My friend and I do a lot of visual studies and make desktop wallpaper patterns out of them. Here’s the link to our site if you want to check them out.

Thanks for posting these.

Argh, damn Feedburner! It just spat out this and about a 9 other pre-2008 posts I’ve already read. I guess I should say “good job” and “thank you” this time :P

There are a few good wallpapers here – but most of them are not.

Lots of these images are resized and up-scaled – making them blurry. TRUE dual-screen wallpaper should be HIGH resolution, IMHO. Some of these wallpapers are not even very wide (only 1024px wide) – that is NOT dualscreen.

Also just linking to a personal flickr group is not helpful – it would be be more useful to link to the actual image.

Thanks!

I use Ubuntu 9.04. I have 2 monitors. When I go to System/Appearance/Background-Tab, it asks me for just 1 background file(jpg). So how can I use 2 jpegs?

Webmaster, pls email me your response.

wonderful collection of wallpapers

Many Many Awsome screens … good job!
