- Set "Fractional scaling" to 150% and "User interface scale" to Double (Hi-DPI) on the T14s laptop monitor.
- External 27" BENQ monitor kept on 100% (default) fractional scaling and Double (Hi-DPI) user interface scale (automatically).
- This basically makes everything in the small 14" monitor look the same size as in the external monitor, ie. scaled resolution 1280 x 720, so I don't need a microscope to use it.
- When using the keyboard volume up / down / mute / mic toggle buttons, the on-screen OSD icon becomes heavily distorted, as if you tugged the jpg around in MSPaint.
- To slightly fix it, go to notification settings, and under "Media keys OSD size", set to Small, then back to Medium. The OSD icon should look perfect on the big 27" screen now, but on the small screen the percentage % number appears outside the OSD box. Much better than the distortion, but still bugged.
default scaling
150% scaling / hi-DPI messed up OSD
small OSD size fix
normal OSD size fixed
