It seems for me like it isn't possible, as zoom is changed for both displays simultaneous in "Displays" tool.

ubuntu 18.04, nvidia, one display 4K other 2K

I want to have 200% zoom on 4K display and 100% on 2K display so "resolutions" are equal


Any suggestions, please?

This should do the trick. Replace $YOUR_4K_SCREEN with the name of your output. You can play with the scaling factor until it's comfortable for you.



xrandr --output $YOUR_4K_SCREEN --scale 0.5x0.5


If anyone knows how to make this persist let us know.
