FAQ aside, EQ on large monitor?

[Smartie]

Hello all. I am new to ‘coming back to EQ,’ having been gone 15 or more years and I have a few questions I cannot seem to find answers for.

Hear me out because I know this is in the P99 FAQ -- but is there a way to make EQ look a little better on modern monitors? I have a 4K monitor capable of 3840 x 2160. If I dink around with the eqclient.ini I can indeed run the game in Full Screen or windowed Full Screen. It looks great, however the UI elements are tiny and thus it’s not very practical to play that way.

Presently I have taken to lowering my monitor's resolution to 2046 x 1152 and just running EQ in a much smaller window. The downside here is that If I want to watch a movie in another window while I med in the game, because of the less-than-optimal resolution, it looks pretty splotchy and bad.

Is there a happy medium here? At the very least, it would be really nice not to have to keep changing my screen resolution every time I play EQ.

PS: I tried EQWIN2 or whatever it’s called and I was unable to get it to run. (In Windows 10 Anniv. Update, it crashes on launch regardless of run-as-admin or compatibility mode etc.)

Thanks,
