Aerial

No wonder the palette of customizations you can try out on your PC seems inhibiting, what with the multitude of tweaks you can try your hand at. But with this variety comes a lot of fodders too, which you must browse through in order to find something valuable.

The same can be said about screensavers too. Even though usually their impact is limited to the visual side of things, it does not mean that they shouldn’t differentiate from one another, and this is precisely what an app such as Aerial is designed to do.

Before anything else, you must know that the program is based on the Apple TV aerial views screensaver, packing a visually impressive set of images shot by the Cupertino-based company all over the world, from New York to San Francisco and from Hawaii to China.

This very fact should be enough to raise some expectations regarding the quality of the images you will be prompted with on your desktop once you install the screensaver, and the chances are you will not be disappointed in the outcome.

Once you run the program, it will display dynamic shots moving at a decent speed in order to prevent eye strain, but it will most definitely be enough to catch your attention. Be it an urban scenery or a natural setting, it will prove that, quality-wise, the screensaver is flawless.

But besides its aesthetic value, the program comes with a series of tweaks you can apply in order to fully benefit from its goodies. To be more specific, if you are using multiple monitors, the program offers to play different aerials on each of them or run strictly on the main screen.

Other than that, it is also great that it can synchronize with the time of day and prioritize videos based on their theme. This way, there will be no inconsistencies between natural light and what your desktop is showing.

On an ending note, Aerial is an enticing solution if you want your screen to display high-quality videos when idle. It features footage shot by Apple for their Apple TV, with the array of sceneries being quite large, which guarantees that it is quite improbable to easily get bored with it.

In case you want to enjoy the screensaver on your OS X device, Aerial for Mac OS is also available for download.
