Searching for pictures or wallpapers of proper size.

Day by day the screen size of computer monitors is increasing. When i started using PC 15′ monitor was standard but now 15′ are out of market, manufacturers stopped manufacturing 15′ monitors. Few days ago 17′ monitor was standard, but now people are buying the monitors of huge sizes like 19′ – 22′ and even more.

Finding wallpaper of perfect size (and about desired topic) for our big monitors is really difficult task. So i am writing this post to easily get the perfect sized wallpapers for our computers.

Few months ago i brought Dell LCD, which is 19′ and having resolutions of ” 1440 x 900 “. I love techie or WRC (World rally championship) wallpapers for my desktop, but i was facing difficulty to get proper sized wallpapers for my desktop. Oversized wallpapers tend to shrink and smaller wallpapers are stretched to fit on screen which given bad looks.

I got the trick for Google image search which can help up to find the images of perfect size for our monitors.

Which searching the images in google just use following keyword

imagesize:[width]x[height] YOURKEYWORD

Just replace YOURKEYWORD with the text about which you want the wallpaper and height and width parameters according to your desktop resolutions.

So now enjoy the perfect sized wallpapers, for your PC/Laptop. Using this trick you can have perfect sized pictures for your work like website design, etc.

Google showing ads in Image search !!

I was just searching for few wallpapers of “ford mustang” for my desktop, i always use Google image search for this purpose. I just searched it on Google image search and just shocked by the results. Google was showing ads in image search, using caption “Sponsored Links” same as normal google search.

Just few days ago Google changed it’s favicon, and now this is new change in Google. In this new year, Google is coming with many shocking and extraordinary ideas. After acquiring the double click now the Google adservers are the best in the world, so they are utilizing them to earn more.

Now it will be interesting to see, if Google adds Image ads in image search results with some blended ideas.
