Help monitor upgrade

[tris-]

just upgraded from a 1970s 17" CRT monitor to a 22" widescreen flat pannel shizzel.

can anyone recommened some tools to get it upto its best image, and maybe some decent wall papers.

its fuckin massive btw, never realised how big it was till i got it on my desk.

I have a 22" widescreen monitor also

I am running it in 1440x900 resolution, seems to be decent enough

As for background, put "wallpaper 1440" into an imagesearch and you get a few good places to start

Here's my wallpaper atm incase you're interested; http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/5306/alessandraambrosio14402cc2.jpg

SexyDesktop - The Worlds Sexiest Wallpapers for your desktop for all your female eye candy needs it will pick the best resolution for you if they have it.

Best tool is Powerstrip. Lets you create as custom monitor driver so you can set the resolution to whatever you like.

Find the native resolution of the monitor you have, set your resolution to that.

Unless you like viewing your computer screen through a pair of prescription glasses designed for someone else.

With 22" you usually run 1680x1050 :>

If its widescreen ofc

i have a flatscreen monitor not sure of length cba to measure it but i find hooking the back legs of my rubber terrantula over the top right hand corner so it looks like its climbing down the screen adds a touch of finesse not generally found with such appliances, that and the william shattner desktop gives it a really stylish feel.

Moody as in, "sad" or "puts in in a general mood"?

I could come up with some, sepia stuff for xample, "old" looking.

though ideally id like it more gloomy and more intense sun bursting through.
it should give an impression of gloom fighting the light.
