Game posters i always love them ;)

Great Post!!!!!!!!! and Great Wallis..

Thanks SM

Beautiful, Excellent, Stunning, Useful … ha. Smashing needs some new words.

The Dual Neurons image does not originate from that dualscreenwallpaper.com.

It actually originates from Link [fweak.deviantart.com]. Link [fweak.deviantart.com] and Link [fweak.deviantart.com] versions are also available.

G’day Guys,

Link [wallpaper.panedia.com]

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 :)

“sorry, remote linking is not allowed”

BUSTED!! lol

thanks for sharing.

Here’s another great one:

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

anybody can help me out to set the wallpapers in dual monitor? I tried and i’m getting the same wallpaper displayed in both monitors. Thanks in advance.

Nice idea. I like it.

Nice post!

I’ve got two 24″ inch monitors running Windows XP. I can’t figure out how to setup one wallpaper that stretches accross both monitors. Anyone how knows how to configure that?

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

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

Like the last one “famous people painted” :). Thanks!

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

Yeap, someone totally needs to put a link here how to stretch wallpapers across two monitors … I feel so amateur.

Great selection though. Would be cool to have some more snow related ones. I like really ambient backgrounds because I grafitti my desktops in shortcut icons, so snowy mountains, clouds and oceans make great backgrounds for me ;)

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

Totally rocks!
I neeeeeed mmmmhhhmmmmoorrreeeee!!!!1

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

Really nice collection. Like a lot. Thanks

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

my desktops are vertical (one on top of the other) with resolution 1280 x 1824. Do you have wallpapers for this type of screens? :P

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

Excellent post and thanks.

Here is what I found after a little google search to get wallpaper on two monitors

Link [www.binaryfortress.com]

To stretch a single image across 2 or more monitors, try this Lifehacker article Link [lifehacker.com] (and google throws up some other good info too: Link [www.google.com]

(Sorry, just realised the Lifehacker link is in the article!)

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,

Amazing great and cool !!

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?!

Very nice collection! Never thought one of my photos would be smashed on here!

Really nice collection….

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

Very nice wallpapers! Is it okay if I will try to use them with one wide screen?

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

Excellent collection!!!

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

awesome backgrounds. Am gonna use them for my mac backgrounds :)

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

“Down on Earth” is actually by me:
Link [adit.deviantart.com]

Its actual title is “Dawn” and I would appreciate it if the credit was corrected to me.

very nice collection

Use Ultramon for Dual Monitor Wallpaper on XP

Great Collection

Quite alright, thanks for your prompt response.

Beautiful! Amazing! Awesome!
Just the Game and Fantasy posters are not right up my alley, but nethertheless they are great too.

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

More ammo for ultramon. Great finds!

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

I was wondering the same thing Okibi. At least on some of them you can take away that they could be dual screen. In any case, smashing mag comes thru again. some pretty sweet dual screen wallpapers. i dig all the abstract stuff. Link [www.wallpapers.com] doesn’t have any dual screen wallpaper (yet?) but is finallly adding some decent static wallpaper too.

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

Just what I was looking for. I’ve got to agree with some of the other comments; it’s a real pain getting these on to dual screens. I use that NVidia Display nonsense at work, which is unbelievably frustrating to use.

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..!

mandolux is great

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 )

Gonna get myself a second monitor after this post :)

Very nice …!

Nice to see one of my photos up here - the Kynance Cove panorama under the Flickr section.

Though I can’t imagine it’ll fit 2 monitors without some stretching.

Check out my Photostream - search my name on flickr.

The link to “Fibers” does not seem to be working. :(

Great collection tho! Ive also found some good ones at Link [www.mandolux.com]

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!

Most of these are really good, I had a little laugh at the picture of the Auckland harbour bridge though, first time I’ve seen it look not so hideous!

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….

Thank you so much for posting these, they are the greatest collection I have seen in a long time; great post!

Ben

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.

the link to our gallery is Link [www.farmidable.com]

Thanks for posting these.

good job

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

wonderful, simply wonderful, thx!

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 like dual and relatic nature of pictures.

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.
