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

Re: Monitors
Yes , it does
Can you post a screen shot of the game in progress with the main menu showing
Like this
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?

Re: Monitors
I have a MSI Raider Laptop 18 Inch monitor 4k 3840 x 2400. Windows 11
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.

Re: Monitors
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.
Regards,
Pat

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?

Re: Monitors
SPACE isn't as limitless as we would wish at times!?! 
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. 
Regards,
Pat
