Asking because I want to make a desktop wallpaper series, and don't know the popular sizes so the top three responses will be the ones made.

You don't need to know popular sizes, just make sure your wallpapers are made for 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. If you need to choose between the two, 16:9.
5:4 can fuck off

I've got a rad false-colour shot from a Mars rover of a giant crater filled with martian sand dunes... can you top that?

wouldn't the aspect ratios be more important than the actual resolutions? make a 1.77:1 version and a 1.6:1 and you should be good.

Yes, didn't realize that until I re-tallied by aspect ratios and found that it's mostly 16:9 and 8:5. Currently it's 5-4, with 8:5 winning
SO, right now those two are the main numbers. I probably couldn't match the mars rover as far as unique images, but the set is still something i want to do anyways.
thx for the help! Hard part will be picking the images and making them desktop worthy

If you cannot expand a wall paper to the point of seein the micro hairs on a nipple... it's too small.
