widescreen

I dont know, but my screen is pretty wide....

Ummmm, I never knew what I use

I guess wide screen

Wide

4:3.

My monitor's stuck in the early 2000's, thus 4:3.

Widescreen.

wide screen

Ooohh..wallpapers of what? :)

Widescreen 16:9 or 16:10. But make them also fit on a 4:3 screen woth most "action" on the middle :3

Wide screen. :3

I use wide screen^^

wide screen

i use both, and if you bother taking the time you can run two walls at the same time, just have to go into the advanced settings of your vid card...

widescreen- people ca just crop it to 4:3 easilly enough

I agree with you but I "voted" for both version.

16:9

boobs

I use the old 1024x768 resolution. @_@

This.

both version!!

both version!!

Widescreen 16:9 full 1080p 1920x1080 res on my acer laptop.

Gotta love marketing guys who sell computers as "Full HD" XD

????????????

What resolution is Full HD then? 1920x1080 is big for a laptop. I think what they mean by "Full HD" is when it is 1080p not 1080i.

1920x1080 is the correct resolution. That isn't what Dragon_Nexus is referring to though. It boils down to a marketing scheme to make people buy certain products, and making them think that it is superior to another. Put it to ya this way: Unless your monitor is around 37" or larger, you will never see a clear difference between 720p (1280x720) and 1080p (1920x1080 picture wise. Oh, you'll see a difference with the size of your icons, and the larger desktop real-estate, but you just won't see the difference in the quality of the image because there isn't enough space on the monitor for the extra pixel data.

It's more the point that "HD" desn't apply to PCs.
A PC has been capable of what is known now as "HD" since the early to mid 90s. Marketting guys are selling monitors as "Full HD 1080p!" when really they're just as good as any other monitor that hits that resolution, and probably isn't a "Gaming monitor" at an inflated price.

Your description makes a lot of sense for TVs, but for monitors, not so much.
You WILL notice a huge difference between 1280x720 and 1920x1080 on something as much as a 20" monitor, assuming 1920x1080 is the native res.

What really makes me laugh is when manufacturers taunt these "epic" contrast ratios, when it's all bullshit. You'll never see it, because the damn back-light (if you're on an LCD) turns any black into a shade of grey anyways!)

But speaking of native resolutions, you've nailed another marketing scam! You know those low-priced 720p TVs that they sell at your local big-box retail store? If you look at the fine print, many of them aren't really 720p. Their native res is around 1366x768, which is just slightly larger. The problem, is that the TV will have to scale up the picture to meet this resolution, which throws off the aspect ratio slightly.

Acer aspire 8930G. 1920x1080 is the native res of the monitor. It is 18.4 iinch.

There's no such thing as "Full HD" for a monitor.
HD is a marketting term coined for televisions to say they're better than standard definition (640x480) and by this definition, anything higher than 640x480 is high definition, ie what monitors have been doing since the early 90s with 800x600, 1024x768 and so on.

Monitors have been doing "HD" for nearly 2 decades, only recently is that term coined. TVs have started going into the resolutions monitors use, since 480p doesn't really cut it any more. So they're HD TVs. There's no "full HD" there's just HD.

What you have is a high resolution monitor. HD doesn't really factor. It's like saying "I've got a monitor with Brightness AND contrast!" So what? Monitors ALL do that. And they all do "HD".

I get what you are saying. Good point.

16:9 1680x1050

Widescreen (16:9) seems to be the norm nowadays.

4:3

Wide and both 16:10 and 16:9, thought the difference is small enough to not matter too much.

widescreen

I say do both version so you won't get any comments like "Do a 4:3 version, please" or "Do a widescreen version, please". Cropping is easy to do but some people are lazy.

4:3

Widescreen.
Anyway I think it's easier to crop an image from widescreen to 4:3 than from 4:3 to widescreen

16:10 widescreen for me.

4:3 I think.

Widescreen for me too. ;)

Widescreen of course :3 1920x1080 x3

Mine is 4:3, I think.

still on 4:3

Widescreen :3

I have 4:3

Widescreen.

4:3 here. :)

It might be useful if people also said what screen resolution they use, mine is 1024*768.

wide screen here. lot of people are going to them... and on some computers wide screen is standard now

not sure about my screen size but...i would like to see what ind of wallpapers you make

The standard 16:9 ratio of widescreen! (16:10 is stoopid :p)

Either-or.

Problem is if you make it 4:3 pic and someone uses it on a 16:9 monitor it would not fill the screen or have to stretch.(stretched picture looks bad).
If someone uses a 16:9 pic on a 4:3 monitor the picture will get squashed or pic will get croped to fit.(lose part of the picture).

I prefer 4:3, but, my newer screen is 16:10, but i've seen new screens increasingly becoming 16:9, like my new laptop, which is actually quite annoyingly wide, i'd rather have a taller screen.

16:10 widescreen on my desktop (1680x1050), and 16:9 on my laptop (1600x900).

3 weeks ago I would've said # now say WIDESCREEN (cuz of new laptop XD) ^^

4:3 letterbox bbmbbf

I've been wanting to ask this as I have a widescreen myself. All of my pics are widescreen.

So... I'd say widescreen.

Te deseo suerte. Espero que las cosas mejoren.

Not wide screen.

1920x1200 =P

vote for wide here.

Both.

I'm surprised to see so many 4:3 resolutions! I figured widescreen was the only choice for long enough to be the standard. Then today I checked the stats on one of my websites and found 1024x768 to be the most popular. Wow.

I've used widescreen for nearly a year now.

Widescreen. ^w^

depends on the content of the wallpaper

Widescreen. Shoot for the future! People with 4:3 will eventually HAVE to upgrade to 16:10 or wider as their hardware dies, and they can still have widescreen wallpapers, just with black bars. Same as movies. Sure, stuff is smaller, but that's for a minority of users.

1080p HD x 4! (4320*7680)

Widescreen please

The key is to make the drawing in 4:3 mode, so it fits monitors that are 1,024x768 and so forth, but keep the action centered in a 16:9 rectangle in the middle. To work those out properly, the 16:9 ratio should equate to 1920 x 1080, which means the vertical height of the full image should be (1920/1024) * 768 or 1440. So do your main drawings in 1920 x 1440, keep the action in a 1920 x 1080 block in the middle, and that should let you crop or scale to fit any monitor size.

I got a new monitor, and my new res is 1360x768, so I guess it's widescreen. I've got a nice one, doesn't fit the whole screen though, but am looking for a non-adult picture of Katt from BoF2, but that's like impossible to find :P If you do some wallpaper, hope you make Non-Adult related ones. I appreciate good drawn adult work, but for my desktop, I prefer a non adult one...a flirty one one would be awesome too. Look forward to wee what you come up with....as always *thumbsup*

For those of you who seem to be unsure whether your monitor is "widescreen" or not: pull out a calculator and divide your monitor's maximum horizontal resolution by its vertical resolution.

If the result is 1.3333333... , you have a "standard" 4:3 monitor.

If the result is 1.6, you have a 16x10 widescreen monitor.

If the result is 1.7777777..., you have a 16x9 widescreen.

(Example: 1024 / 768 = 1.33333... , so a monitor that maxes out at 1024x768 display is a 4:3 monitor. On the other hand, 1680 / 1050 = 1.6, so a monitor that goes up to 1680x1050 is a 16x10 widescreen.)

As for the original question: 4x3 displays are well on the way out; none of the local retailers carry them any more. Of the two competing widescreen sizes, 16x10 is becoming the most common size in desktop computer monitors, simply because most computer software (especially anything to do with text documents) is vertically oriented and 16x10 gives you a little more vertical space to work with than 16x9 does.

Widescreen all the way! >=3

Oh, uh, 16x9.
