A question for OOTP players

JerseyDan421 · 03-06-2021, 06:02 AM

What screen resolution does everyone use to play OOTP? Also, what do you think is the best screen resolution to use(obviously everyone will have different answers)?

I'm getting myself a new laptop soon(I've seen a few people say, that a desktop is far better than a laptop for OOTP but, I'm getting a new laptop for other reasons than just OOTP, plus I'll be able to carry around with me) I'm just curious what type of screen resolution and other specs will make my OOTP experience even better, especially when it comes to graphics in 3d play.

I am using a laptop with a 1600x900 screen, and run OOTP in a maximized window (so 1600x836 is what I get). When playing out in 3D mode the scoreboard only shows hits, runs, and errors, and if I leave the lineups open then sometimes I miss catches in the outfield.

I also have an external monitor (1920x1080) that I sometimes plug into my laptop. Playing games out on that, the scoreboard will have the full nine-inning scorecard, and the lineups (and pitcher/batter) windows don't get in the way (usually).

Hope that helps.

I love playing this game on a laptop. At home I have two additional monitors that I have as part of a docking system and I play the game on the 27" screen. Works great.

I've got a handy little program called Screenres for my MBP, so even on a 16" screen I get 3584x2220. On my old iMac, I turn off Retina and watch in 27" 5120x2880 splendor.
