    Ok the pixels on screen for resolution actually makes sense to me. But ya my PS4 is hooked to a 4K, so it's that large resolution I'm used to. I'll have to look into getting an actual monitor that's worth something.

    But like I said, I have to lean back into the chair due to injuries, so I don't know if the 20s would cut it for me.

    I am using a 29" ultrawide monitor and play with 2560x1080 resolution. Able to place the HUD with less obstacle in the middle of the screen.

    You can get true 1080p 32” monitors quite cheaply, I don’t especially rate them but if you are leaning back then a 4K display is likely going to be a waste unless you go huge. Personally I’d recommend a 32” 1440p and a good monitor arm for the easiest all round solution.

    The general rule I tend to use when deciding on a monitor size is 1' away for every 7" on the diagonal. You can adjust this for your own preference, but I tend to find that this ratio gives the optimal viewing area.

    FYI the game text scaling is utter shite and is not actual text scaling it is like pre-rendered. (this is why the chat box looks good, it is actually rendered text) That is why it looks like garbage at certain % of the size adjustment options.

    Used to play on 85-inch (1080p) TV, now i'm playing on 34-inch UltraWide (3440 x 1440) monitor. Never going back to TV.

    Screen Mode: Borderless Windowed
    High Resolution UI Settings: 150% (Full HD) - 1750x984 or higher
    Default UI Size: 100%

    With these selections, use HUD Layout to change the size of elements/bars on your screen. I also changed chat log text size to 24 for all.
