Depending what you need to do...if you believe that ding is the way to play, your set up should be like this:
Monitor: 800 x 600
Game: 1024 x 768 full screen mode.
You do lose clarity but you have an easier ding.
If you want to have more clear texts, meter, wind/distance info and avatar, then go like this:
Monitor: 1920 x 1080
Game: 1920 x 1080 full screen mode.
The downside is that your ding rate will drop substantially.
