Black Plain Wallpaper Horizontal
Plain black cut wide — for monitors, laptops and anything landscape. Community-uploaded; sign in to share yours.
A plain fill sounds resolution-proof and is not: at the wrong size some systems pad or tile it, and a visible seam across a flat black desktop is more obvious than a seam in a busy image. Matching the screen avoids it. Sizes run 1920x1080 up to 4K here. On an OLED monitor a true black fill switches those pixels off, which is the lowest-power thing you can display over a working day.

Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
How do I set one as my wallpaper?
Long-press on mobile or right-click on desktop to save the image, then set it from your gallery or system wallpaper settings.
