Hi there,
My built-in screen is 2560x1600, and the external screen is 1920x1080. In the settings, there is no scale that fits correctly for these monitors. For example, 150% scaling is perfect for my laptop display, but it is very zoomed in for the external display, so I cannot really work on that. I would like to have the laptop displayed scaled 150%, but the external display stays at 100%.
I know that there are some topics already about this problem, however, I tried the solutions, and they didn’t work for me. I’ve been stuck on this problem for weeks now:( That is why I thought maybe I needed more personalized answers.
I tried following the article HiDPI in ArchWiki and used xrandr to adjust the scaling, but it made it worse, so I revered the changes.
here is info:
