Hyprland monitor scale problem, need help
Hi everyone,
I’m dealing with an issue that I’ve tried to fix a few times before, but I always ended up giving up. Now I’m trying again, and I honestly can’t accept that I still haven’t found a proper solution for this.
I use a 23-inch 1920x1080 external monitor together with my laptop screen, which is 14 inches and also 1920x1080.
At scale 1.0, the laptop screen looks perfect. But on my external monitor, everything looks way too big, much bigger than it should. The difference is very obvious when I boot into Windows on my dual boot setup and open the browser there.
I’ve tried lowering the scale to different values, but then everything becomes blurry, as expected. I really don’t know what else to do. Am I just stuck using huge and weird-looking UI elements on my external monitor forever?
Setup:
- Hyprland 0.55.4, uwsm session, Arch Linux
- Laptop
eDP-1: 1920x1200, around 14 inches, around 162 PPI, perfect at scale 1.0 - External
HDMI-A-1: 1920x1080, 23 inches, around 96 PPI, UI feels huge at scale 1.0
