Best Resolution for a 32 inch monitor

Hey all,

I have a 32 inch monitor that runs in 2560x1080 but when I am in EQ I only displays 2/3's of a normal screen. So I wanted to know what resolution is it best to run in to see everything as normal.

I'd definitely run it in windowed mode Mappo.

I play in 1920x1080... I don't know if there's an upper resolution limit, can't think why there would be.

Does your eqclient.ini file look something like this at the top?

Have a play with some of the resolution settings.

I will look at my eqclient.ini tonight and see what it looks like.

Thanks for the help.

You can change it to pretty much anything. Just check what your windows desktop resolution is. I run a custom resolution in my eqclient so windowed mode wraps around my taskbar.

1920x1080

"anything else would be uncivilized"

I adjusted my eqclient.ini file to 1920x1080 and it seems to have the right resolution and depth for mobs.

Thanks for the help

I tried changing my resolution in eqclient, and I "Dont have the rights to perform...." Yellow exclamation box msg. Never used to do this. Any one know what I can do to override?

id suggest by relocating your entire everquest directory outside of Program Files. there are alot of dumb restrictinos in Program Files in newer OSs.

Copy and paste it t C:\EQ\ or something

mm .. don't know how you could play on a 32" with such low res.

I run 27's @ 2560 x 1440. I would think that would be minimum on a 32
