[SOLVED] Scaling on 4k

Hello, I am new to arch and have encountered issue with scaling elements on the screen. 100% is too small and 200% is too big.
My questions is: How to set 150% scaling? (Or similiar)

Couldn't find answer anywhere. Thanks for help!

It doesn't. I have 28inch monitor so it doesn't apply to me

Re: [SOLVED] Scaling on 4k

How many inches your monitor has does not have to have a relation to the need of configuring your DPI correctly. There are a lot of displays with higher res than their raw size would suggest which is why you need to configure things there.

What exactly is "too small" which clients tools exactly, which graphical environment are you running?

Re: [SOLVED] Scaling on 4k

28" @ 16/9 and 3840x2160 are ~158 DPI what fits your ~150% (against 96dpi) observation - the HiDPI article is very relevant, so make sure to read it.

Everything is too big/too small (100/200 scaling)
I am on gnome and running 4k on 28 inches in 16:9 aspect ratio

Update: I have managed to set the scale to 150% which is optimal for me, but now Brave browser is a bit blurry. Need help

Another update: Setting ozone in brave://flags/ to auto fixed blurriness.
My issues regarding display are now solved.

Thanks for helping!
