Best Screen Resolution for AACW?

Tue Dec 23, 2008 5:25 pm

First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and joyous New Year to all of you! :D What do you consider to be the best resolution for the game that balances between screen viewable, readability and overall usefulness? I find at the lower resolutions it's easy to read but a lot of the map is covered with GUI boxes. Higher resolutions make everything so small its hard to read. My card will support most resolutions, so some advice please?

Well I use the native resolution of my TFT of course (1680 x 1050) and screen-to-nose-distance of about 45 cm to 55 cm. :D

As an alternative, you could wear Colonel Klink's monocle. :mdr:
