And with plugging/unplugging of an external screen, Windows was often not able to put windows back in the right places.

In Windows the options themselves are fine, but there are too many legacy apps that do not support scaling and just look blurry :(. At least text was not too small or to big, but a lot of widgets were tiny and barely usable. I downloaded SwitchResX and tried to set some custom resolutions as seen in the following screenshot but they are called invalid. There are no hiDPI resolutions available to select in displays or using RDM. I ended up using the native resolution and scaling up the font size. Im plugging my late 2020 M1 MacBook Air into the following 21:9 1440p monitor over USB-C. Then you can mirror the exterior display to internal display in display settings. With the native resolution everything is too small, with 2x scaling everything is too big, and with 1.5-1.75 scaling, many applications are blurry. Use SwitchresX set the internal resolution to the new one.

I had a ThinkPad with a 1080p 14' screen and an external 4k 27' screen. Integer scaling works well (assuming that the toolkit of an application supports it), but once you use fractional scaling (even on GNOME on Wayland), a lot of CPU cycles are burnt for rendering, and many non-GNOME applications will be rendered at a lower DPI and scaled up and everything is blurry. May experience with Linux has been the opposite. And frankly looks like shit on 4K 27' displaysĬould you explain? We have three different 4K 27' screens around the house and for me the five options between Larger text and More space in Display Preferences are completely fine? I pick the size I want and the fonts are completely crisp? If you want to select resolutions, you can hold the Option key and click the Scaled radio button and you can select concrete resolutions.
