Just got a 32' monitor. What is best resolution to play game on?

Heh, I assume you mean a 32" monitor, because a 32-foot job would be a bit much, I'd say.

Well, that is a big monitor. But bigger is not always better with OOTPB. What happens is you get a lot of blank white space if the screen gets too large. Plus reading stats from left to right on a really large display is not good for the eyes. I really don't think Full Screen is going to be optimal for these reasons.

What I would do is go to Preferences, set Display Mode to Windowed, and select the largest size, 2560 x 1600. See how that looks. It may look great, or it may still be too big. If the latter, work your way backwards in window sizes until you find one that suits you.
