about
this site is more than a normal collection of wallpapers - the focus is on high-resolution and multihead wallpapers and information about multihead configurations (especially with GNU/Linux and X11/XFree86/x.org). a list of (linux supported) multihead cards and their features is under construction.
the wallpapers were found on various places around the net or modified/made by me.
aspect ratios are mostly for multiple 4:3 displays, some are for multiple 5:4. the singlehead wallpaper are for high-resolution (>=1600x1200) 4:3 and widescreen 16:10 displays. you can "abuse" the triplehead wallpapers for dualhead widescreen displays. here you can see a matrix comparing different aspect ratios and screen setups.
you found a piece of your own work and want credits or have it removed? want to tell me about a good multihead / high- resolution image resource or contribute with some wallpaper? Got detailed information about a multihead graphics card? tell me.
there is also a beta for a new menu - the "wallpaper selection helper".
at the moment the wallpapers have a total size of 251MB (798KB/image average).

multihead display solutions
· digitaltigers tigervista (2-7 screens, multi-monitor notebook docking station, pc's with multihead cards)
· 9X Media (2-32 screen display, 2-144 screen video walls, multi-screen computers & gfx cards)
· MASS Engineered Design (1-6 screens, fully rotational panels)
· Panoram Technologies (3 screens, large visualization systems)
· Liebermann (1-5 screens, seems to be bankrupt)
· e.g. Apple, SGI and SUN provide workstations with at least dualhead graphics options.

multihead gfx cards
· 9X Media has a nice list of dual- to quadhead cards.
· the Matrox Parhelia is nice for triplehead surround gaming where supported, but the 3D performance is quite weak. Nvidia supports at least dualhead gaming with some games and a better performance. nevertheless matrox cards have a great image quality.
i don't wanna miss my Matrox MMS-cards :)
more information coming soon...

single displays
· at least Iiyama, Viewsonic and IBM have some ultrahigh-resolution displays (3840x2400).
· Apple, Samsung and maybe some more have good widescreen (16:10) displays.
