Wallpapers: Which size should I use?

Here is a quick way to find your current screen size on
a Windows computer. This will let you know what
size of wallpaper image to select.

1. Click on the START button

2. Click on CONTROL PANEL

3. Double-click on the DISPLAY icon. If you do not see an icon with this name then instead click on "APPEARANCE AND THEMES". You should now see the DISPLAY icon.

4. A windows with the title "DISPLAY PROPERTIES" should open. Click on the SETTINGS tab.

5. Look for a section for SCREEN RESOLUTION. The size shown is the size of wallpaper you should choose. Yours will probably be different than in the example below.

6. If your exact size is not available in our selection of wallpapers just choose the closest match.

7. Close all of the previous windows without making changes and return to our wallpapers page.

8. Click on the appropriate size from the offerings and, after the browser window is completed dowloaded, right-click on the image and select "Set as background".
