OOTP/FHM with 4K laptop?

Hoiles · 01-11-2017, 08:40 PM

It's time for me to get a new laptop. Anybody play an OOTP game on a computer with a 4K screen, on specifically, a 15.6" laptop? On my current 1080p laptop, OOTP looks fine with maximum font size, FHM is decent, however other text games which fit in a lot of info (like Crusader Kings) look like I'm reading them from the ceiling. Or in general, is a 4K screen on a somewhat big, but not massive, laptop overkill in the first place? Thanks for any suggestions. Hopefully this question's not too general for this forum, but my OOTP playing experience is one of the criteria in a future computer purchase

There's a "high DPI scaling" option in Windows itself.

I'll keep that in mind, though in my experience I haven't had much luck with that DPI scaling option for other games. I guess the lack of responses means a 4k laptop for OOTP is overkill, I'm leaning towards a regular HD laptop and I'll wait around until OOTP gets 4k resolution for version 23 or so.
