2560×1600 Desktop Backgrounds
by Craig Mayhew on May.08, 2009, under Guides/Fixes
I decided I needed to change my desktop background this morning as they can get boring quickly when you see the same one for months on end. I actually found it difficult to find many images at 2560×1600 as alot of the sites I would normally use didn’t allow searching by resolution or just made it difficult to do. In my quest for high resolution desktop backgrounds I have saved these various places that will take you directly to search results pages chock full of wallpapers at 2560×1600 pixels.

I decided to go with this New York cityscape in the end :)
Edit on 10/05/2009:
I’ve found the exact place where the new york photo was taken. It’s at 40″45′36.41 N 73″59′27.36 W Elevation 57m. Great if you want to have a look on Google Earth.

I’ve just uploaded the kmz file which will allow you to download the exact location where the New York cityscape was taken. It’s available here and will only work if you have Google Earth installed.

Also, just discovered that bing has added a “Wallpaper” image size to it’s image search engine. This automatically detects your screen resolution and returns only images that perfectly match the resolution.
