the maximum is too narrow, is there a way to go above that?  
2560x1440 @ 16:9

strange to find no input still on this, i’m sure there was a way i’d been able to size it correctly before for large resolutions.

If you are trying to play with a terminal size that large, good luck.

Try Windowed borderless, Fairly sure that increases term size relative to your resolution.

Even with an amazing computer, you are going to have performance issues running larger terminal sizes.  
I’d suggest just playing with the default size, on fullscreen.

i’ve actually got the corsair h110i and just gonna warn people, it takes some creative mounting, it doesn’t really fit that case otherwise.

also, not pictured, my pioneer receiver getting digital optical out, it has 2 klipsch reference II bookshelf speakers and a pioneer subwoofer attached, other than that the HTC vive.

actually… that reminds me, i need to set it up for this new dig’s wifi and do room calibration ^^

That’s about the price of every motor vehicle I have owned, put together. Plus a little more.

$1099 to kiss goodbye right there, but it is larger resolution and screen and to be honest, my other monitor died during the move last night apparently.
