Instead of scaling it 200%, I had to add custom resolution settings (since those were not available by default). For me, that was my laptop monitor, eDP-1. SolutionĪdd custom resolutions for one of the monitors that you feel is not 'sizing' well. It shows I have eDP-1 as my laptop monitor and eDP-3 as my external monitor (ViewSonic in this case). Here is my xrandr output (type xrandr in terminal): eDP-3 As long as I used a Single Display everything is fine (well except the quality of the S3221) but as soon as you try to Join Displays things go awry. Everything works fine.Īt work, however, I have a crappy Dell S3221 QS 32'' Curved 4K monitor.

At home, I have ViewSonic Corporation 31'' with which I have no problems at all attaching to XPS 13 Dell laptop.

Instead set the resolution to your monitor (either laptop of external).

Through many attempts and recommendations you can find online I've learned I should fiddle with screen resolution instead of scaling. 200% scale then both monitors were set up for 200%, but what I wanted is to have my primary monitor at 200% and secondary at 100%. If I disabled the fractional scaling setting and used e.g. I've recently learned that messing with fractional scaling within Display settings of Ubuntu 20.04 slows everything down, almost to a halt.
