Computer monitors have become much bigger and the prices have become quite more reasonable than they used to. I picked up a nice 34" widescreen for just a couple of hundred bucks. It's not 4K, but HD has been working quite well for me. I do have a 4K touchscreen laptop, and that is certainly nice to have when working with images and video.

But the question today is what size wallpaper resolution do you typically look to download? Do you even look to see what resolutions are available?

Dual monitors at both work and home....

Home:

2560 x 1440 - 2 x 32" HP

 

Work:

2560 x 1440 - 32" HP

1920 x 1200 - 24" Dell

 

I always try to use native resolution wallpaper per monitor

I usually get the largest size available within reason.  Provides a bigger canvas to work with for cropping, resizing, etc.  Yep, I play with my food.

3440x1440

Is this a combined res, alphabyte?  Or a single monitor?

I also use 4K, on my 4K TV.  There are lots of 4K walls here.

3440x1440 here, too. 1 Monitor LG Ultrawide.

Single monitor, ultrawide screen. Was skeptical at first whether or not this format would work for me, but really love the extra space for multiple windows.

I have one of those, I don't even know the res....lol.

EDIT: 2160 x 1440.

1920X1080 on a 24" LG

Just a quick tally so far.

1920x1080 - 5

1920x1200 - 4

2560x1440 - 7

2560x1600

3440 x 1440 - 3

3840 x 2160 - 2

Another 1920x1080

I guess to answer your question sizes, I do look at resolutions available. when ya jump up to 2560, a 1920 wallpaper will be fuzzy. So yes i look.

on Aug 04, 2020

But still the same ratio.   I use 2560x1440 and I really don't see a major diff when running a 1920 wall.

Follow-up question:

When you download a wallpaper do you prefer multiple resolutions, or just the biggest possible and fit the wallpaper from that?

 

on Aug 05, 2020

I definitely prefer multiple resolutions. One of the reasons is that sometimes I like the possibility to crop the larger size for using only portions of the original.
