Fonts/UI Size

[HalfmoonSmile]

What resolution/screen size do you all use to play? I'm trying to find a sweet spot where the UI fits the screen, but the font is also clear.

On a 21" desktop monitor (using lower-than-usual resolutions) the UI seems overbearingly large, but the font is fairly easy to read. On a 47" HDTV, which I prefer for games like this, the UI better suits the screen, but the font is nearly illegible unless seated a few feet away. I'd brushed this off as a personal issue, but recently tried showing Rimworld off to my nephew and he quit within minutes because he got tired from squinting.

I found an old thread discussing this (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=8710.0), but nothing recent; what do you all think? Overall, the pop-ups are too bad, but the tooltips and the white text in the corner indicating ground type, temperature, etc. seem difficult to read on most common resolutions.

I play at 1280 x 1024 on a 16" or 18" monitor.  I'm happy with font & UI that I have.

I play on a 1366 x 768 and I'm fine with my font and UI

TV screens really aren't designed for this sort of interface at all. They're less clear. It's part of why people don't browse the Internet on TV.

Thanks for all of your replies, I appreciate the feedback.

Incidentally, I started using a physical screen magnifier set up like a pair of bifocals and it's working brilliantly.
