Default Re: What video resolution do you play SE4 at?

1024x768 of course.
I'm short sighted, I can't read a streetsign 3m away without my glasses, but when I take them off there's no too small letter for me. And I never use them in from of the computer.
If you can't see the ships, it's a clear sign you need reading glasses.

Which doesn't help SE4 at all, certainly not the shipsets. And it breaks some programs (noteabley SJ's Slotmodder for Starfury)

Those programs are written poorly then if it causes them to break.

Hi Antonin,1024x768 is the way for me always ,tho 800x600 is great,i need to see all icons above & larger map,also i increase my moniter brightness to 65-70 to see a lot more on screen because,Some Default Ai ships, are colored in the dark range against space background.

I use 800x600 because my wife hates small icons. But now that she has her own comp and only uses mine for email, I am considering using another resolution.

Icon size can be changed, "large icons" are 48x48, compared with old small icons 32x32. But you can manually enter a number if you want bigger ones.

I use 800x600 and still can not find Piundon and Sallega ships hiding in my system

800x600. I have a 13" monitor, and I can barely make out anything on the larger resolutions. It works well for me. I have to make a consious effort to change it when I play Starfury.

I use 1280x1024, but SEIV then has a black band around the edges where it can't scale up that big. The planet letters are kind of small. A 21" monitor does help though.

1024x768

My reason is 'cause I can see the whole "toolbar" without scrolling.

I hate scrolling!!!

(that's probably my biggest wishlist item behind "scriptable, branchable AI logic")
