Some users on the other hand like it ultra-comfortable. That is where the software program ILift comes into play. It is a download manager for wallpapers on the InterfaceLift website. It needs to be configured once so that wallpapers for the right screen resolution are downloaded by the application. The right screen resolution and aspect ration can be set in the options. This is also the location to set the download path for the wallpaper images and the sort order on the InterfaceLift website.

The last step in the configuration involves selecting the number of pages that the wallpaper downloader should crawl at the InterfaceLift website. The default value is that only the frontpage is crawled by the application. This can be changed to a greater value so that some or even all pages are crawled for wallpapers.

Setting the to value to 192 would crawl all pages that are currently available at the wallpaper site. ILift should work with all versions of the Windows operating system. It can be downloaded from Softpedia as no developer website is known at this point in time.

The Internet literally contains thousands of wallpaper sites, most of them crappy and ad infested. The following sites have only a few ads – if any – and provide a good selection of at least a few hundreds high definition wallpapers.

Most websites in the list offer multiple resolutions and should provide wallpapers for barely any monitor resolutions. If you know of a great website that should be in the list let everyone know in the comments.

Cool HD Wallpapers

Categorizes wallpapers by size and provides multiple sizes for all wallpapers.

Deskcity

The only foreign (that is non English) site of this list. Offers many high definition wallpapers with many unusual sizes such as 1600×3200.

Deviant Art HDTV / Widescreen

Offers probably the largest selection of hdtv and widescreen wallpapers powered by the sheer size of the Deviant art user base.

Flickr

The Flickr Wallpaper pool contains thousands of wallpaper images with a minimum size of 1024×768 but most higher than that. The choice is great but the wallpapers lack information on the preview pages. One needs to click through individual wallpapers to check the supported screen resolutions.

HD Desktop Wallpapers

The majority of the content of hd desktop wallpapers are celebrity wallpapers who make up more than 80% of all wallpapers. Wallpapers come in all possible resolutions and it is quite hard to find HD wallpapers on the site. Seems a bit deserted as well.

HD Wallpapers

All wallpapers are available in 1600×1200 format only. Site offers nine categories like cars, celebrities and tv shows.

Interfacelift

Provides access to more than 1600 HD wallpapers that are supplied in various sizes up to 2560×1600. Offers various ways to browse wallpapers, for example by tags or artist.

My HD Wallpaper

Thousands of hd wallpapers in various categories like celebrities, abstract and computer generated. Site provides access to various sizes for each wallpaper and offers a 2560×1600 category that contains 199 wallpapers.

Professional Wallpapers

Lists all available wallpaper resolutions on the main page which is a refreshing change. Uses tags to categorize wallpapers. Wallpaper sizes up to 2560×1600.

Steampunk Wallpaper

A blog style wallpaper site that is rather hard to navigate because of this but contains more information about each wallpaper which is a refreshing change. Wallpapers are tagged properly and the tag cloud provides a good way of navigating the site.

Wallpaper HD

Many different wallpaper categories, even one about the 2008 US election. Sizes up to 2560×1600.

One nice feature is the slideshow. If you move your mouse over the current image three buttons are shown on the top of it. The play button starts the slideshow which is loading one image after the other while the other two buttons are for manually navigating the pictures.

It took a while until I figured out how to save the high resolution images. Only a thumbnail is displayed that is not linking directly to the image. You actually have to left-click the image to display the download link to the high resolution image.

The biggest images can have a size of nearly 1 Megabyte, could take some time to load on slow connections.
