Mark Rogers has created a 2021 Planet of the Apes TV Series Desktop Calendar. Each image is suitable for use as a desktop background. He created a size that he thought would work best for most people. He wrote, "If these proportions don't work for people, using a solid color background set to "#ff9900" will provide an adequate setting."

This is the February image. It's also the last image.
