Need to know a good size monitor for Fallout 4

[IMGUNFODDER]

I have an old but reliable 4:3 monitor from 2004, I am in the market for a 16:9/16:10 widescreen (no ultra wide though) monitor preferably between 22 - 27 inches that Fallout 4 will run smoothly on at full screen. Can anyone tell me what size they have found to work the best? Thank you in advance. Also what screen resolutions does FO4 Support with a wide screen. (And spare me the sarcasm)

This is what I'm playing on.

Though I found it for less $$ elsewhere with post holiday sales

And monitor size has nothing to do with it running smoothly, it's resolution, 1080p is 1080p no matter what size screen it is. Performance is impacted by your video card. I'm running mine off of twin Asus strix gtx 970s.

I use the exact same one.

Well I have a pair of GeForce GTX Titan X running and when I try to change the resolution it will only allow me to use 16:9 or 10. or it wont display any resolution options at all, I tried all the other stuff to no avail. my current monitor is as i said 4:3 not 16:9.

I forgot to mention that every time I tell it I do not want windowd mode it grays out widescreen and does not show me any resoluiton options in the drop down menu

Go to ...\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 and open "Fallout4Prefs.ini" using notepad.*

Scroll down until you see the following underneath "[Display]":
bBorderless=
bFull Screen=
iSize H=
iSize W=

"iSize H" and "iSize W" are your resolution settings for Fallout 4. Change those to whatever suits your needs. "bBorderless" enables borderless windowed mode when set to "1". Most people recommend this. Just make sure "bFull Screen" is set to equal "0" when "bBorderless" is enabled.

Let me know if that fixed your resolution problem.

No, I tried it before and it didn't work. Tried it again this time and no good. the resolution is all off.

Running mine on a 57 inch 1080p tv with r9 270x black addition 4gig video card. It works for me.

Okay finally figured it out, there are two Fallout4Pref files and they have to be identical otherwise you have ghastly mess. Well that only took 5 hours of browsing and reading to finally fix, though it would have been nicer if the makers were not so out of touch with their consumers.

You have two "Fallout4Prefs.ini" files?

Do yourself a favor and get an Ultrawide 21:9 monitor. Best move I have made in a long time. Immersive games like this become twice as immersive. Literally every game I have played has been brought to life since I ditched my 144hz 27 inch and grabbed a 34 inch ultrawide.

Same here. I haven't used a 'monitor' in years. My current set up is two 32" Samsung LED HDTV's.

I can watch netflix on one screen and play a game on the other one. I love multi tasking.
