Anyone have any places to get good 1600x1200 wallpapers? I _just_ got my Sony E500 21" monitor and I'm going to run it at 16x12@85. It's awesome. After a scare when first starting it up because I had it connected to a VGA extension cable instead of straight to the computer, it's beautiful. Much better than my 17" Mag that had a light blue tint to it.

You can take smaller ones and enlarge them. I typically take webartists work and expand/crop to fit.

I've tried that with a few that started out at 1024x768. Just setting it to stretch in desktop properties but the pictures really degrade when I do that. Like I went through desktopgirls.com and found a couple pictures that I like and tried to stretch them but the color on the skin really gets messed up. Same goes for a couple car pictures that I had.

If you mean I should try messing around with them in photoshop, that's probably beyond me. I can draw a crooked line in MS-Paint, that's about it ;)

I'm finding a few cool ones just type typing "1600x1200 wallpapers" into Yahoo. The one on the left on this page is pretty darn cool.

I forgot about one of my favorite places to look at cool pictures of the rich and infamous. kimble.org. A rich bastard that documents his travels with a Nikon D1.. He has lots of cool pictures of places he travels too. Found a nice one of a Irish castle/home type place.
