   Why? if the DPI setting is changing the font and icon size without   
   ruining the resolution, what's the problem?   
      
   Then, the -in xfce- appearance settings windows scaling - to 2, I guess   
   that is scaling with ruining the resolution. Don't want that.

   MY TV is a little smaller but playing with the DPI settings and mirror   
   my 1080 monitor tells me I can live with the same settings on monitor   
   and TV. So for both I need to increase the size/DPI to make it easy to read.

   27 and 32 is a significant difference but I have not find anything in   
   between.   
   I will take a look what is available here.
