Desktop Wallpapers Sites worth Visiting
Posted by juliabennet on July 27th, 2012
Available and very popular on the internet are thousands over thousands of websites featuring desktop wallpapers. This number can make your search a bit confusing and difficult, so to help you find your desired wallpaper easily, some of these sites that are worth visiting are listed below.
A new site is Well base, hosting a wallpaper selection of 370 thousand HD wallpapers which are all sorted and tagged to make it easier for you to find your desktop background and download it from the site. There are 3 options provided for your search – Top list, Random and Search. Search is divided further into color and keyword search.
Images for your desktop backgrounds are displayed on the screen as thumbnails, and on top of them is a filter bar, which you can use to filter wallpapers by resolution, board (general, anime, and high resolution), ratio, and type (nsfw, sfw, and sketchy). These filters, therefore, can be used to find the exact resolution of your computer screen. Available ranges of resolutions are from 800 x 600 to 2560 x 1600; these are enough for most computer users. Once you click on the wallpaper, you will see a preview image of it. This can be downloaded to your computer system from there, and not from the search result listings.
The second recommended website to find good quality HD wallpapers is Mydeskcity. This is a really big website, and the good thing about this is that there is no overloading of advertisements on this site. But there is a drawback: it is in Chinese and not in English. However, you can use a translation service, the Bing Translator for example, to translate the site into English or any language that you can understand. Even in Chinese, the site is easy to navigate, although not as easy as the Desktop Nexus or the Interface Lift. Understandably, this can be attributed to the language that the site uses.
The Desktop Nexus, as mentioned above, is one of the sites that has the largest depository of wallpapers on the internet. It has over 800,000 HD wallpapers listed in categories like anime, animals or sports. The downloads are optimized automatically for the resolution of the screen of your computer. You can download all their wallpapers for free and you are not required to sign up for membership with the site. However, you can sign up for an RSS feed or a free newsletter if you want to receive the hottest technology tips and news each day.
The Interface Lift, on the other hand, also has high quality wallpapers. The site has one of the largest selections of resolutions. It also offers wallpapers for mobile devices and dual screens. Like the Desktop Nexus, you are allowed to download desktop backgrounds without registering for membership. Some websites require signing up for membership and the fee starts at $20 per year. However, they offer images that can be considered real works of arts and that can’t be accessed by those who are using free downloads.
HD wallpapers are used on desktops and these wallpapers have various themes.
