Show me your viewport UI setup
 
So right now im just running 1920x1080 with a similar window config to what i used on blue.

I would like to use viewport and I messed around with it a bit using the two options

/viewport 480 0 1440 1080 which gave me a 480 wide black box on the side. I was decently happy with how i could fit my windows over there but i hated the view area being offset to the side and not in my center view

my 2nd attempt was something like (i cant remember exact numbers)
/viewport 240 0 1440 800 which gave me a centered view area and blank black space at the bottom for the chat boxes, but i couldn't come up with a good arrangement of UI elements in the small 240 blank space on either side.

So what have you guys come up with for your viewport UIs? Please try to include the /viewport command you used if you remember the numbers you used.

Never even heard of this in all my years. What is the purpose of using it?

Everquest cuts off the top and bottom of your view to stretch out the screen for widescreen. In short, you actually lose view if you play in fullscreen/widescreen so most of us play in 4:3 with a viewport setting to see as much as we can.

This looks very interesting. I think I will try this at home. I have a laptop that is 1920 x 1080 I believe the 4:3 aspect ratio in the example looks really nice.

Yes. I use it and love it. I never thought I would, now I will never go back to widescreen in this game!

I don't know how to take Screenshot on P99. My default Ctrl+PrtScn doesn't work.

Interesting. I play in 1900x1000 window. Been trying to figure out what a 4:3 ratio would be of this window heh.

42" 1920x1080 lcd

42" 1920x180 LCD I sit about 7 feet away.

Video mode set to 1280 x 720(16:9) Not ideal for eye candy but totaly fine for 20 year old EQ.

/viewport 220 0 840 630(4:3) background tint 50 50 50. The actuall size of the viewport is about 25" diagonal.

All is very comfortably readable except tracking.. I still haven't dialed in the background tint for the tracking window where the red, blue and green cons are all easily readable.
