scaling problem

#1 Post by shenkun »

I have recently got myself a new MSI modern 15 and it have the display resolution is 1920x1080. I installed the MX linux 19.4 on it like all my other machines. But they are of 720p resolution. This one have very small fonts. I cannot read them properly and like a good user I looked on existing threads to fix it. But the problem is that changing scaling is actually zooming the screen, It get's zoomed in a bit too much. It's very painful to look at.
