Dual Monitor! Big Resolution

Hey folks. How are you doing? I've got a question;

A couple of days ago I added a secondary monitor on my computer. Now I've got 2 19" monitor's on the same pc. For people who don't have that; I recommend it! If you've got a monitor wich you don't use, use it! It's really beautifull and handy! When I used just 1 monitor, I used a resolution of 1600x1200. But now I've got a resolution of 3200x1200! Now my question is; does someone knows where I can find such big Wallpapers? I found some on google and altavista, but I can't imagine that there's no site where you can find much more.
So if anyone knows about it, can you please help me?

Thanks already!

I've asked a question like this before and usually they delete this kind of post since It has nothing to do with Caedes. But for Wallpapers that big you'd most likely have to buy them. I have a Monitor that is Widescreen and run it at 1920x1200, it's a Dell 24" HD Ultrasharp LCD monitor. Photo's of that High Res are hard to come by for free. You can try some Stock/Royalty Free photography sites but they don't come cheap.

mandolux often supports dual screen .. some are two images meant to be used together (can YOU do that?) ..

so .. anyhoo .. click on "archive" and poke around .. note the years at the top

and ...

faster than your car 'extended' by Hermik is 3840x2880

but ... If I am to help you further you'll have to send me one of your 19" monitors .. it's only fair

Stop trying to figure out who's talented and who's not, and just take a shot at it, okay? Do some art. Tell anybody who asks that I said it was all right. ---Emma Bull

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

I believe when you move your mouse to the edge of one .. it shows up on the other

I'll be able to say for sure when PuMa sends me his monitor .. (*rubs hands together*) .. I can't wait

I have dual monitors on my MAC system which I use for video editing, but I don't have the resolution set to 3940X2880 (everything on the screen would be extremely tiny if I did that.) The way I have it set up, it is like one big screen but both 20 inch monitors are set to 1152X870 and the wallpapers I use appear in full on both monitors at that size (they are not stretched across both monitors). What's nice about the dual monitors is that it allows me to move whatever is on my workspace whereever I want on either monitor, so that I have twice as much space to put all the various menus and images that I work with at once. As Keith said, you just move your mouse to the edge of one monitor and the cursor then moves onto the other screen.

BTW, you can't attach two monitors to every computer...Your computer has to be set up to work with dual monitors...you can purchase extra hardware to do that or you can buy the computer with that as an option.

Thanks for all the help already!
Keifer, really, I wish I could give you one ;). But I don't know it that's gonna work. And will need a lot of postage's. But feel free to visit my place once! The Netherlands is a beautifull country.
If you have got 2 monitor's, you can set them up horizontal, so 2 x 1600x1200 becomes 3200x1200. Or you can set them up vertical. Then you have got 1 monitor above the other. But you can also get twice the same image. I've got a Geforce4 as videocart, and then I can plug 2 monitor's in my computer. If you can't do that, you can buy another videocart, for a second monitor, but not every videocart support's that. Go googling if you want to know ;). It doesn't matter if it's PCI or AGP. It's much fun because I've also got a TV-cart. I can watch TV on 1 monitor fullscreen, and do the rest like caedes on the other monitor. :)

Hope you can understand all my bad English!
