Xrandr -output DP-0 -mode 2560x1440 -scale 0.5x0.5 -filter nearestĪs you see now we can have a lower DPI resolution at higher native LCD resolution that is integer scaled by 2. Here is a example to how to set lower screen PPI at higher native resolution to enjoy sharp text without blurry affects: Here is an example how you can calculate it: This issue can be solved by creating a custom resolution that is integer scaled by 2.

Unfortunately the output become blurry because LCD display only can provide sharp display at native resolution. For example a 14 inch display with resolution of 2560x1440 has a DPI equal to 209.Ī quick solution is to set the resolution to 1280x720 because the DPI of 104.9 falls into comfortable level. It also can suggest same DPI at higher scaling level. This software allows to find out best PPI that can solve the problem. Also when you have multiple displays with different PPI. High PPI might be useful for graphic software but it has issue with remote desktop and older software. Plus the font size and sharpness of font. It also depends to the distance between display and my eyes.

I find myself to be comfortable with screen PPI between 100 to 140. This software allow you to find out prefect custom resolution that works best for your eyes and then it can generate xrandr command to apply the new custom screen resolution to the system and see it in action!
