Many people own a widescreen monitor. This is mainly because most laptops are widescreen and more laptops than normal PC's are sold. Another thing that people love these days is working with dual screens (two or more screens). I'm working dual too: 15,4" on my laptop, together with a 21" widescreen. It really improves my workflow as a programmer / designer.

One of the problems with these wide screen resolutions, is that many backgrounds (wallpapers) will not fit since most of them are made for a normal screen. This is the reason I collected 33 of the most breathtaking dual- and widescreen wallpapers.

If you don't own a wide- / dualscreen monitor, don't hold back to check out this article. Most backgrounds are a great design inspiration too.

If you know any more breathtaking dual- and / or widescreen wallpapers or websites, I would love to hear them. Share your lovely background with the rest!

The image used as a preview is from Basajaun. And for your information: I'm using the first background (Bombay) currently on my machine.

Anonymous   2008-07-28 22:42:17 How do you get the background to span both monitors? I have dual monitors and am running Windows XP...the background is duplicated (in its entirety) on both screens instead of one image split between the two screens. Any advice? Reply | Quote

Done. If the image doesn't cover both screens entirely you can stretch it by dragging on its edges. Reply | Quote
