    I am currently running nicely on a 2560 x 1600 monitor.
    I see that you can now buy a seiki 4k2k(3840 x 2160) monitor for <$1500.
    The question is, will BTS be able to run at that resolution.
    I have already verified that modern high end graphics cards will support that resolution

    When I load up the game and click Advanced, Options, Graphics. The highest resolution it shows me is 1920x1200.
    Now, that might be for my graphics card and monitor.
    What does this show for your settings?
    If it a standard maximum for everyone, then the game won't change more than that for the better cards and monitors.

    The highest it will show is the highest your monitor will support.

    I don't know what the maximum is. But I'm sure there are some people here who've tried it with three or four (or more) monitors and can report on that.

    That's good.
    I remember Empire Earth 1 couldn't do that, so everthing was larger on this monitor.

    Aren't the UI elements super small at that resolution?
