            It depends on gameplay testing. If all testers had 16:9 monitors and 110° FOV, then that's the value you should enter (to ensure as much as possible the experience stays consistent for all other users who don't have a 16:9 monitor and/or use a different FOV).
        @par
            If all your testers had 4:3 monitors, then enter a 4:3 resolution.
        @par
            If all your testers had varying resolutions or you just didn't care, then this feature is useless for you and should be disabled (default: disabled).
