I need clarification please

[Quackerjack]

Hi guys,

 

So for me as clarification, monitor sizes changes the sensitivity but aspect ratio changes keep the same sensitivity. But if i get black bars with 4:3 resolution, the screen size is effectively reduced so it would be the same as change to a smaller monitor. I dont understand this, someone can help me out?

as far as i am aware this has to do with screen size not = monitor "realestate" if you get what i am saying 

so blackbars could jsut aswell render the full 16:9 pic while a change in actual screen size will change the total amount of space your fov can / will use

so left you simply wont see the rerst of the "fov" while the right side willhave the "same" fov on both with more / less

similar to Matching FOV by changing resolution  ? :

might be totally off with my undertsanding of your question or my answer, if someone else has corrections/ a better take pls @

Different monitor size will match the physical monitor distance (unless you match using 360 distance), so for instance if you go from a 24" to a 27" 16:9 monitor, the sensitivity in the middle 24" of the 27" is the same as before. In other words if you overlay the 24" over the 27" the 24" movement will be the same.

4:3 Black bars would be the same as a 4:3 monitor with the same height and using MDV 0%, like in this example:

So this means the sensitivity dont change when you change the monitor size? So going from 19 to 24.5 for example the sensitivity in the middle (19 zoll) from your 24.5 is the same. But why we calculate it then iam lost

If you don't change sensitivity it will not be the same, you need to calculate a new sensitivity for it to be the same.

Some prefer this, but most people don't use this feature actually.

On the first i tried to calculate sensitivity from 4:3 aspect ratio

https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/?share=329c5af1d1f3c762fe93ba72b8ecfc42

On the second from 16:9 aspect ratio

Here (just an example) the sensitivity from 24 monitor to 24.5 changes drastically when changing aspect ratio, what i miss?
