Does anyone play the game with a 4K monitor that features a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels ?

My Laptop is 4k 3840 x 2400, does that help?


And yes have played both games on it happily.

Re: Monitors
 

Yes , it does

Can you post a screen shot of the game in progress with the main menu showing

Do you have any issue with the font size at that resolution ?

Is the menu screen about the same size when you view it or is it smaller ?

How big is your lap top screen? That may be critical to how well ( or not ) you view it.... I'm never going to run it on a laptop. When I upgrade to win11 I am thinking to upgrade to a 27" monitor from 21" so how the game looks on a 27" monitor ( or larger ) is what I am after for info, but your set-up is relevant too.

What I am concerned with is if the menu screen like that encyclopedia screen gets really tiny on a larger monitor at higher resolutions or does it maintain the same ratio as I see it on a 21" @ 1920 X 1080

Basically, do I get more map area with a 3840 x 2160 4K display and does that encyclopedia screen get smaller or stay about the same?

Looks pretty much like you would expect and very similar to your pic. The only slight moan is that it doesnt quite fill my desktop leaving a small strip visible to the right of the screen (the Blue strip of this forum in this case)

SORRY - I realised I have my screen set 200% scale above... Set to 100% i get a lot more map real estate but a VERY small interface:

But on this screen size its hard to see ANYTHING in almost any program!
If you need any further views etc please let me know.

If you have the room, you might want to consider a 32' Monitor.

When I'm doing my work to include "game work", I find it much easier to do so.

I also enjoy playing the game much better than the other monitors I've owned in the past. And since I set all my units up it makes it go a little faster as well.

32" sounds interesting but 27" -28" would be my limit unless I buy a larger computer desk then figure out how to make the larger one fit......... which is more aggravation than I want. I'm pushing my limit with 27". I have a 21" (diagonal) now. There is room to spare but a 32" with the existing space would mean using the printer or the scanner would be a PITA reaching around a 32" monitor

Re: Monitors
 

Interesting....... how quickly can you switch from 100% to 200% on your machine?

My set up right now only allows me 100% / 125% / 150% / 175\%............no 200%

What is the limit on your laptop?

SPACE isn't as limitless as we would wish at times!?! :D

This just FYI and I have an ASUS TUF 32" VG32VQ1B w/HDR 10 @ 165Hz/1ms Curved Monitor and is referred to as a QHD or 2K at 4 million total pixels vice 8 million for 4k.

Scales: 100/125/150/175/200/225. Resolution: 2560 X 1440.

Not sure if I am allowed to link to the monitor on the ASUS website in here so, I'll just say it's there if someone wants to take a look.

However, it is a significant leap from HD or Full HD.

This might be the "sweet spot" for most and at the time I bought it one of the Top 3 gaming monitors overall in the year it was released.

Never had ANY ISSUES in the numerous uses of this monitor. ;)
