Supporting QHD and UHD?

[sturm375]

I've been thinking about upgrading my PC Monitor(s) to something around the QHD (1440p) or maybe 4k.  However I tested 4k on my laptop that has a 4k screen, and I get far less real-estate on the screen in terms of toolbars and menus than I do with my current Desktop monitor (1920x1200).  Does CoH truly support 1440 or 4k?  Do I need to run in Windowed mode (as opposed to what I usually do full screen)?  Anyone else seeing this issue (maybe my laptop is the issue)?

I plat at 4k on a 56" monitor (TV).

 

The UI is scale-able. 

 

The biggest issues with 4k/higher resolutions have been fixed by our awesome programmers. They have SCOREd quite the coup. 

 

You do need a fairly hefty GPU to get 4k with all the bells and whistles to give a decent frame rate.

Found my problem.  UI was set to default scaling.  Which causes the UI to take up more room on the screen under 4k than under 1920x1200 resolution.  This setting is not on the same option page as the graphics settings, so I missed it.  Also didn't make any sense to me that the automatic scaling would automatically use more UI space in this comparison.  When playing with this setting, under my desktop setings (1920x1200), the UI Scaling is at 100%.  Under 4k, it defaults to 300%.  For me, adjusting it down manually to around 250% seems to work MUCH better.

 

BTW, Laptop has a GTX 960 M, so plenty of power to run at acceptable rates for this game at 4k.

City of Heroes was made for 1080 at best.  HD. 

 

Homecoming & SCORE have done work to make the UI better on High-DPI and 4K displays out there, but I wouldn't be as bold to say 8K and 10K are covered with the fixes.  The current gamut of displays on sale now should play the game well, excluding the 5% at the high end in those highest of high resolutions or really weird properties (7280x2640 Ultrawide with 210ppi... well, I'll just have to shrug and say "try it.")
