Ok what the fuck /w/... why do I see nothing but shit tastic resolutions being posted all the time? You can't all have oldschool piece of shit monitors can you? Widescreen is the only way to go... but all I ever see are goddamn 1024x768 and 1280x1024 being posted...

Where are the walls for people who don't have 14" CRTs?

Whoa, whoa. I do agree that there needs to be more in the way of high resolution wallpapers and that there aren't enough widescreen wallpapers getting posted here... but the comment about 14" CRTs is going a tad far, as is the one about widescreen being the only way to go.

On my desktop PCs, I have LCD monitors with a native resolution of 1280x1024. I would certainly like to get a widescreen monitor for at least one of them, but I am not made of money and the existing monitors suit my needs well enough that I'm not going to fix it if it ain't broke.

Then there's my laptop. 1024x768 native resolution. A laptop with a widescreen display would be nice, but while this one is functional and powerful enough to suit my needs, buying a new one with a widescreen display is not a priority.

Statement was made for effect not as an honest opinion on the inferiority of 4:3 CRTs.

CRTs offer better versatility in people who use varying resolutions (read: people who play old school games) and better response time for gaming.

have LCDs come a long way? without a doubt. Are ridiculously huge LCDs made of amazing and fucking win? yes.

This 24" Samsung display is so so so so nice... but 99% of monitors sold today are widescreen, so I'm a little surprised that we don't see more 16:10 ratio walls...

I know a lot of monitors sold today are widescreen, but 99%? Didn't seem like that many last time I was browsing a computer store during my lunch break.

In any case, of those who use computers, only some have bought widescreen monitors (most people just stick with what they already have until there's a compelling reason to get a new one). Of those, only some even care about getting a desktop wallpaper other than the default that comes on their computer. Of those, only some are interested in getting an anime wallpaper. And of those, only some are interested in building up collections of them. So yeah, doesn't really surprise me that not that many people are posting widescreen anime wallpapers. If anything, I'm mildly surprised that there are as many as there are.

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with CRT's I have one and it works just fine for new games as well as old. 1024x768 is it's res, and while better would be nice, I don't have the money to go drop on a newer expensive monitor. Especially when I've had my computer for only a year.

I agree that there are still many non-wide screen monitors not being sold, and package unit normally cost about $100-150 more if they contain wide screens.

I have a 17" with 1280x1024

Is this acceptable?

i dont get the whole deal about widescreens
sure there a bit more real estate but my dual 19" at 1280x1024 are more than adequate, and i would rather the two separate monitors than an equivalently price widescreen

Are you a newfag or something? Most wallpapers posted here are 1600x1200 or 1280x960 at least. Anyone who posts 1024x768 usually gets yelled at, and there are usually multiple widescreen threads daily.

So what the hell are you talking about? But just so you see what I'm talking about:

I've never really found dual monitors to be that practical. I ended up deciding that if I'm going to have a second monitor on my desk, I'm better off having a second computer driving it.

I'm very happy with my 1600x1200 res. I could give a fuck about widescreen.

I'm currently using non-widescreen, but it's 20" 1600x1200. The problem with a similarly sized/priced widescreen is that it has lower vertical resolution, which for me is far more important than widescreen (I have a widescreen TV for watching shows.

I agree, though, that smaller walls are kind of depressing. Less than 1/3 of your screen is hardly a wall, even if it looks fantastic. I make a point of collecting walls of smaller/bigger resolution anyway, just in case.

I guess that makes sense. I've still generally found myself better off with two separate computers, though.
