<p>Hey all. I just got my Dell in the mail and I was looking for a Berkeley photo to set as my desktop…</p>

<p>the screen is 17 inches, anyone have a link to large photos that will fit the screen witihout being distorted? Thanks.</p>

<p>e1705? I looked at that one, but settled on the W3J instead. </p>

<p>On topic: Google?</p>

<p>AH, here we go! Massive 2048x1536 photo, cut it down to a widescreen 16:10 resolution if you wish to in an editor. Or just ask me. :)</p>

<p>There’s also this, but it’s a contorted widescreen resolution, and I’m currently trying to cut it down to 16:10. Plus it’s relatively low resolution, so it would appear somewhat blurry on large displays. </p>

<p>A little off-topic… for anyone whos using a widescreen laptop… does the resolution ever **** you off - I mean I really like this laptop but it’s widescreen so I was just having second thoughts…</p>

<p>The widescreen aspect or the huge resolution?</p>

<p>Alright, here’s my first 16:10 edit of the first photo I posted.</p>

<p>thanks guys!!!</p>

<p>Great picture there!</p>

13

<p>yay, its my background now.</p>

<p>I slightly modified the first pic I posted for some color leveling, IMO it now looks a little better, judge for yourself. :)</p>

<p>The 2nd pic I modified is somewhat blurry after looking at it for a bit. I’ll try to fix that.</p>

<p>EDIT: I ran the 2nd pic through a different resizing filter on PhotoShop, looks a <em>little</em> bit better IMO, of course the pic is small to begin with, so whatever.</p>

<p>These pictures belong in Berkeley viewbooks.</p>

<p>Strykur … I was talking about the widescreen aspect</p>

<p>Eh, for awhile I originally found the widescreen aspect in a laptop screen somewhat laughable (I’ve worked with one before), for it constrains the laptop’s frame into a dimensional state that makes it clumsy to carry around in most laptop-suited equipment. I think what was tried to be done with the application of the aspect was to create a notebook frame that would more closely resemble the dimensions of items routinely carried by mobile workers, that being business materials such as portfolios and binders. The widescreen aspect also allows the screen to actually have more pixel space, and therefore be larger. I have grown quite fond it now actually, the problem I do recognize however is that laptops with widescreen aspects occupy a much larger footprint that a standard laptop with a 4:3 aspect. Personally I’m a guru who prefers excessive hardware (I’m getting a E1705 from Dell later this year with a 17" LCD), and love the WUXGA displays, an absolute treat for games and watching DVDs. As for the footprint, since the laptop will rarely leave the college dorm room (unless you like to work somewhere else), for me I am not really concerned, but I personally find the aspect attractive anyway.</p>

<p>Thanks Strykur… Even I’m personally finding the idea of a widescreen laptop on the weird side… And does the non-standard resolution ever seem to get irritating - say for simple things like wallpapers, many games not suited to the resolution, movies not suited to the resolution etc… Even I really like one of the Dell models - don’t remember the model number but not the 17" one as I find that too bulky!</p>

<p>I took these photos the spring before my freshmen year. There are two albums with Berkeley photos. If you click on “full size” on the right hand side of each image, it will give you 2272 x 1704 resolution. To set them as screenscraver, just find the size of your current display, read them as pixels, and crop my images (or any images) to those dimensions so that the images aren’t awkardly distorted.</p>
