What resolution and zoom level is optimal for an average sized monitor?

Not that I've found. I zoom in and out throughout a game. I've been playing since the DOS days so I find that I don't have problems with determining terrain. More often I get impatient with planning and rush through a turn, maybe missing a sniper or some other isolated unit. I think the biggest thing that helps is learning the keyboard shortcuts keys and looking at the different lists of units that are available. You'll get used to it.

If there was a resolution where you can do all things comfortably you wouldnt need a zoom button would you. But of course your needs are diffrent for the tactical overview to a close in firefight so you zoom accordingly.
