Hey, I'm currently running two monitors at 1280x1024 using a wallpaper going across at I guess 2560x1024. I think I dug many of my wallpapers at http://wallpaper.deviantart.com/ either in the MultiDisplay or Widescreen sections.

Lots of good stuff, harder if you have to limit yourself to science fiction though.

Another suggestion is to look for the photography section at the same website. With 8MP cameras and the like and stitch modes, there are pretty nice huge photographs out there and you can crop the appropriate section for your display.

In my own collection, the only things sci-fi-ish are http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/24/shrug.jpg and http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/24/Rings.jpg
(Both not my work, obviously)

There are a coupla people on DA who do a lot of stuff like that Rings one (in fact it's probably one of theirs), I saved some of their wallpaper packs a while back, I'll see if I can dig any out.

Hmm, I think I need to get myself one of those cinema display thingies.

You should, they're loads of fun!
Very good for watching DVDs when you should be working on PaintShop Pro...not that I would ever neglect my hobby in favour of high resolution entertainment...honest.

Oh and why are you still naming alien ships after vegetables? why-why-why?!

Sorry, I was at work when I'd read the post and I didn't notice the size resolutions mentioned.

Not that I've paid attention to the resolutions on Desktop Starships either. I just know they have images bigger than my monitor.

Don't blame me, blame the United Earth Stellar Navy!

Mac monitors, meh! *L* Still, 1680/1050 carries a very small market share, and Mac is still below 4%. ....Masao, look at these nice monitors http://9xmedia.com/pages-Build_a_system/X-Top_Design_a_system-Configurations.html *L* I know... I couldn'a stop laughing with glee and envy at the 30 screen "my monitor is larger than the Enterprise D viewscreen" monitor...

But as I was saying in my previous post, Macs are not the only computers with widescreen monitors... there's a Dell XPS laptop with a 1900x1200 screen, for example.

And the brand spankin' new 17-Inch Mac Book Pro is 1680X1050. (Which is sort of a joke you'd get if you think about boot camp as much as I do.)
