Moving from 1920*1080 to 2560*1440 monitor

[Sweed]

I play out all of my games and finally made the move from a 1920*1080 monitor to a 2k monitor, what a difference. Screen shots of old vs new...

Played with this a bit more and came up with a view where nothing touches the field. Adding third screen of newest view.

There is a way to manually reorder things on the screen?


When running live sims for an online league, only about 1/2 of the given games for the league show up on screen, in spite of TONS of dead open space to the sides. It would be great to be able to reorganize it to utilize that space.

is amazing you can get more than one game displaying on screen as when in the playoff hunt (playoff watching hoping other team losing) like we would keep an eye on out of town scoreboard literally if we went to the game.


How did you get more to display and when I get home I will show what I got on screen without the score board and the bullpen widget keeps disappearing when I click on it or when I click half inning will make another widget disappear and would be forced to resort all this from the start

To get the expanded out of town scored I hit the "+"button on the small out of town score board. It really is cool but the thing I hate is there is a scroll bar on the right as it extends off screen with a full slate of games.
Huge pain because you can't drag the scroll bar as that will move the widget. Instead you have to carefully click the up down arrows. Well as I type I can't recall if I have tried just putting the mouse on it and using the scroll wheel? Have to try next game to be sure.

Another problem with that is the screen doesn't stick where you leave it but reverts to original position next time I hit a button to play my game. Playoffs should fit nicely though.

I haven't had disappearing widgets on either the new or old monitor. Not sure what's going on there for you?

I only play solo so don't know what issues you run into doing a live sim. To answer you question though, yes on the broadcast screen widgets can be arranged in any way you want. Simple drag and drop and then I go in and manually fine tune it with the x\y settings to have everything line up.

Sweed, that 2560*1440 screen shot looks amazing. I double-clicked it for full(?) size and the clarity is great. Question, though. With that large a monitor, do you find yourself sitting on top of it (that is, very close to it) in order to see it better because the font is smaller? Or is the font actually larger because the screen is not being resized to fit into a 1920*1080 space?

I would say from my chair my head is somewhere around 30 inches from the screen when I play. Think normal high back computer chair and leaning back. There's a setting for font size and mine is set to "increased" (I think is what it is called?) one step above normal with one more setting I could go larger. It's smaller than the old monitor but not hard to read as the image is so crisp.

Ah...add to the list of life's progression of envies. Love it, Sweed. How great for you.

Is this in-game or on a live sim website like StatsLab?
